Tacitus famously refutes military success in his account. As this article shows, however, its memory is consistently invoked in its basic structure. Especially through allusions to Caesar, Tacitus introduces a model of historiographical narrative concerning Roman conquest, only to reject it. The result is a tension between the ongoing public presence of Rome's immediate past and its official erasure, forming a commentary on the very process of imperial memory sanction.","PeriodicalId":81501,"journal":{"name":"Illinois classical studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"408 - 429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48486130","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}

Barbara Wallach had proposed that Illinois Classical Studies host luitpold Wallach’s unfinished edition of the first two books of Alcuin’s Libri Carolini. the legacy of the text is fraught with complexities surrounding its authorship; its historical, religious, political, and intellectual import provided compelling arguments for publishing Professor Wallach’s edition. We are especially pleased to pay tribute to luitpold Wallach, a member of the faculty at the department of the classics at illinois (1967–78), whose contributions as a scholar to the study of classics are also a testament of the struggles that he and other Jewish scholars underwent, as they strove to establish and secure academic positions in america after the end of World War ii. i would like to thank the guest editors, who have worked painstakingly on this difficult and important edition. They have been an exemplary team and brought their intellectual talents and technical expertise to bear upon Professor Wallach’s edition of the Libri Carolini. i would also like to thank antony augoustakis, Head of the classics department, as well as the college of liberal arts and sciences, and associate dean martin camargo for their continuing support. special thanks are due clydette Wantland, Kristen dean-Grossmann, and the team at the university of illinois Press for all their help and guidance.","PeriodicalId":81501,"journal":{"name":"Illinois classical studies","volume":"47 1","pages":"vi - vi"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/9780691198552-002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43053141","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}

A sustained and nuanced visual comparison between Pyrrhus and a series of other potential exempla of masculinity informs Plutarch's critique of Pyrrhus's reign. The resulting exploration of masculine virtue takes place in numerous geographical, ethnic, and cultural contexts, allowing Plutarch to exploit the tension between contrasting ideologies of manhood in order to fashion a complex and multifarious explanation for Pyrrhus's failures as a leader, in spite of his obvious prowess in several important arenas of kingship. Pyrrhus's invasion of Sparta is the central case study.","PeriodicalId":81501,"journal":{"name":"Illinois classical studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"177 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45123632","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}

With its \"manly\" vir-root, virtūs directly translates Greek ἀνδρεία, but leaves out much of the entire range of virtues represented by Greek ἀρετή. Through his manipulation of ἀνδρεία and related words, Plutarch asserts not only that virtūs is as Greek as it is Roman, but also that virtūs alone is not enough to make a vir. Plutarch ultimately appears to identify masculinity self-reflexively, as the ability to wield intellectual authority over all spheres of ἀρετή, including the ethical, political, and military.","PeriodicalId":81501,"journal":{"name":"Illinois classical studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"156 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48738488","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}
