Emotion, Restraint, and Community in Ancient Rome - Kaster, Robert A. (Department of Classics, Kennedy Foundation Professor of Latin Language and Literature, Department of Classics, Kennedy Foundation Professor of Latin Language and Literature, Princeton University)

Examines the ways in which emotions, and talk about emotions, interacted with the ethics of the Roman upper classes in the late Republic and early Empire. This book considers how various Roman forms of fear, dismay, indignation, and revulsion created an economy of displeasure that shaped society in constructive ways.
