The Army seen as uirtus moral example in some of Apuleius' Metamorphosis allegories. Interesting instrument of moral values diffusion in the civil society, based on the Army institution.

[TITVS SABATINVS AQVILIVS]

From your PDF:

Apuleius tells the story of a bandit gang, which was particularly troubling a certain region, and how through a single nod of Caesar the army was dispatched and utterly wiped out the gang (Apuleius, Met.
7.7.; cf. SHA, Sev. 18.6).

Just a Caesar's nod, I should have liked to see that scene and the following hunt...

Vale,
