  • Beschreibung: This volume examines the etymological and semantic origins of luxuria in key Latin texts. It discusses the influence of Greek culture on the Roman concept and examines a wide array of classical authors and genres to trace how luxuria becomes one of the Seven Capital Sins in late antiquity, representing the vice of lust.
