Reviews
Shackleton Bailey is best known to the scholarly community for his excellent translations of Cicero's letters. His version of Valerius Maximus also deserves praise, merits inclusion in the fine Loeb Classical Library, and fills a major need for an English version of this valuable source.

Synopsis
Valerius Maximus compiled his handbook of notable deeds and sayings in the reign of Tiberius (AD 14-37). His professedly practical work contains a clear moral element and is informative about first-century AD Roman attitudes toward religion and morality., Exemplary wisdom from ancient Rome. Valerius Maximus compiled his handbook of notable deeds and sayings during the reign of Tiberius (AD 14-37). The collection was admired in antiquity and has recently been attracting renewed scholarly attention. Yet to date there has been no modern English translation of Memorable Doings and Sayings . This work is now added to the Loeb Classical Library, in two volumes, a freshly edited Latin text facing D. R. Shackleton Bailey's pleasing and authoritative translation. Valerius arranges his instructive examples in short chapters, each focused on a particular virtue, vice, religious practice, or traditional custom--including Omens, Dreams, Anger, Cruelty, Bravery, Fidelity, Gratitude, Friendship, Parental Love. The moral undercurrent of this collection is readily apparent. But Valerius tells us that the book's purpose is simply practical: he decided to select worthwhile material from famous writers so that people looking for illustrative examples might be spared the trouble of research. Whatever the author's intention, his book is an interesting source of information on Roman attitudes toward religion and moral values in the first century., Valerius Maximus compiled his handbook of notable deeds and sayings during the reign of Tiberius (14-37 CE).
