#Pietas
"Pietas was, of course, the defining virtue of Rome's legendary ancestor-hero Aeneas."

Ugh, beat me to it.

I feel the need to note that the Romans don't really present 'power' (potentia, vis) as their chief virtue.

Instead, the Romans were "always harping on fides ['faith, trust']" (Dioc. Sic. 23.1); Cicero gives the virtue where Rome surpasses others as pietas (piety, Cic. Har. resp. 9.19).
Hegseth: "We need students of western civilization and the pillars of our republic. Leaders who understand the faith of Jerusalem, the philosophy of anthems -- Athens. The power of Rome, and the freedom of Philadelphia circa 1776."

Pietas was, of course, the defining virtue of Rome's legendary ancestor-hero Aeneas.

Vergil, meanwhile, gives the the unique arts of Rome as "to crown peace with laws, to spare in war the humble and to war down the proud" in the Aeneid.

These guys are ignorant of the culture they claim to idolize.

«Copropietario» etimológicamente significa «que se apiada de la mierda» y viene del griego antiguo κόπρος (kopros = heces) y pietario, del latín pietas = piedad.

MIRE, ES MARAVILLOSO. PERO DE TODOS LOS TROPOS (SI ES QUE SE LLAMAN ASÍ EN ARTE): PIETÁS, DESCENDIMIENTOS, NOLI ME TANGERE… LOS ÉXTASIS ME RESULTAN PERTURBADORES PORQUE SON SEÑORAS CORRIÉNDOSE. DE ESTA BURRICA NO ME BAJAN.

Friendly reminder de que COPROPIETARIO es una palabra que viene de COPRO (caca en griego) y PIETARIO (que tiene PIETAS, piedad en latín).

This is what the Romans referred to as “pietas,” described in The Aeneid.
Wearing red because Virgil told me to.

Hip hop history suggests that the distinctive vice of plagiarism isn’t exactly cheating—pretending to be original when one isn’t—but ingratitude (or at least a vicious lack of pietas).
sociologically: came of age in church singing the same hymns people had for generations, in the sample heavy era of hip hop, learning jazz (where learning "standards"/ transcriptions of others' improvisations was expected!) so maybe just never developed the view of originality others seem to have

The Pula Amphitheater in Croatia, one of the world's six largest surviving Roman arenas, was built in the 1st century. At that time, Pula was a colonial hub known as Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola

It’s also a reversal of the famous image of Aeneas carrying out his father Anchises from burning Troy. Pietas embodied.

Cum semel occideris et de te splendida Minos
fecerit arbitria,
non, Torquate, genus, non te facundia, non te
restituet pietas;
infernis neque enim tenebris Diana pudicum
liberat Hippolytum,
nec Lethaea valet Theseus abrumpere caro

My most medieval opinion is that the term "religion" is basically meaningless unless we're referring to a specific virtue under the banner of pietas

Thinking what a list of Roman virtues would entail - virtus, fides, pietas, humanitas, pudor, sapientia, constantia, temperantia, prudentia, aequitas, iustitia.

All I think rate ahead of something like fortitudo or vis (with its sometimes negative connotations!).

Happy December!🎄🌟
Once the 10th month of the Roman calendar, December began with festivals for Neptune & Pietas on the 1st — the start of a busy season that included Saturnalia & the birthday of Sol Invictus.

Because yes, I have seen, “Jesus was a Palestinian from Bethlehem” on social a bunch and while the visceral / metaphoric in the face of real images (babies. babies. Mothers. Babies. Pietas. Babies). Is one thing, I don’t like dodgy historical statements given.. well, this particular history.
