Abstract

432 explicitly on the conduct of Horatius (he only records the impres- sion on the bystanders), it seems to me that 26 ought to be regarded in the light of Livy's moral purpose as well, namely as a warning example ... foedum inceptu foedum exitu quod vites (pr. 10). A picture like this of the complexity of human nature makes the story more plausible and digestible than a one-sided example of virtue. A survey of recurrent elements in Livy's records of single combat and a discussion of the purposes they serve, conclude a book which certainly contributes to our understanding of Livy. 1012 GC AMSTERDAM, Oude Turfmarkt 129 F.
