Factorum et Dictorum Memorabilium Libri Novem (Nine Books of Memorable Deeds and Sayings) is a collection of historical anecdotes and moral examples compiled by Valerius Maximus, likely during the reign of Tiberius. This work provides a valuable insight into Roman society, values, and historical consciousness during the early Imperial period. Volume 112 presents the text, offering readers a window into the historical and literary tastes of the time. Valerius Maximus drew upon a wide range of sources to create a compendium of stories intended to instruct and entertain, making it a popular resource for orators and writers throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This enduring work continues to be studied for its historical value and its influence on Western literature and thought.
