It shows that the discourse of Roman pride aims to pinpoint an individual’s incorrect understanding of the balance of power in a given transaction by highlighting a mismatch between one’s own internal judgment and the external evaluation of one’s worth by others. It is directed toward enforcing individual compliance with the communal assessment of status and behavior. Crucial terms are arrogantia (“arrogance”), insolentia (“insolence”), fastus (“haughtiness”), and superbia, the last most the common and the most flexible. A careful investigation of terminology, in its differences and overlaps, yields pride scripts, models of prideful behavior that can then be applied to texts in which the marked terms are not used.","PeriodicalId":433013,"journal":{"name":"Reading Roman Pride","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131265695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using representative examples as bases for modeling how the functioning of the emotion is envisioned, it examines what causes pride, what kind of behaviors the emotion, once aroused, leads to, and what reactions it is likely to provoke. It shows that pride can be said, in general, to originate in various types of good fortune or personal accomplishment that are overvalued by the person experiencing them compared to how they are viewed externally. The excessive emotion then is seen to lead to a variety of transgressive behaviors, ranging from verbal excess to physical violence. These behaviors form part of the subject’s attempts at impressing this self-valuation on others. The reactions to pride show the greatest variety and are dependent on the relative power of the affected party in the relationship.","PeriodicalId":433013,"journal":{"name":"Reading Roman Pride","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123732632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author analyze the functioning of the pride script within the kingship discourse in two case studies: accusations of regnum leveled at the early republican ‘pretenders’ (so-called adfectatores regni) and the rhetorical deployment of similar, but more flexible accusations in late republican oratory. I demonstrate that kingship accusations are both a way of conceptualizing certain kinds of political deviancy and, at the same time, a tool for suppressing such behavior. A concluding look at Pliny the Younger’s attacks on Domitian shows the endurance of the discourse into the empire.","PeriodicalId":433013,"journal":{"name":"Reading Roman Pride","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122566976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It investigates Roman attitudes to the city of Capua, which remained the proud place par excellence in Roman discourse from its star turn as a defector in the Second Punic War to late antiquity. The chapter begins with the distillation of the stereotypical picture of Capua in a poem of the fourth-century author Ausonius. Reading Capuan pride in Cicero, Livy, Silius Italicus, and Ausonius, the author shows how Roman ideas about pride interact with stereotypes about climate and ethnic character, as well as imperialist ideology, to create a remarkably durable portrait of a proud city that far outlasts its immediate historical motivation.","PeriodicalId":433013,"journal":{"name":"Reading Roman Pride","volume":"455 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131918766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
