He is most often presented as a man of pristine virtue and philhellenic persuasion, but this image has clouded his personality as well as the events in which he was involved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAemilius Paullus: Conqueror of Greece, first published in 1988, aims to construct an accurate picture of the soldier and politician by scrutiny of the main sources – Livy, Plutarch and Polybius (the last of whom worked under the direct patronage of Paullus). The Polybian concepts of the statesman and the conqueror, Livy’s portrayal of a man schooled in the \u003ci\u003emos maiorum\u003c\/i\u003e and Plutarch’s moralistic use of the image of Paullus for didactic purposes are each investigated. The author shows how each writer moulds a Paullus according to his own preconceptions, and suggests that he may have been little more than a competent general and politician. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257655415128,"sku":"9780415749282","price":71.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415749282_2a9c3fd8-2800-4a8e-b890-32aa6aa1d967.jpg?v=1769157037","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/aemilius-paullus-routledge-revivals-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
