Construction planning. Emperor Titus Â© The Colosseum was opened in AD 80 by Vespasian's son and successor, Titus. Given the scale of the enterprise it was built remarkably quickly. And given the site, in a valley where there was previously a lake, it had to be planned carefully.
Virtue (Latin: virtus, Ancient Greek: á¼ÏÎµÏÎ® arete) is moral excellence. A virtue is a trait or quality that is deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting collective and individual greatness. The opposite of virtue is vice. The four classic cardinal virtues are:temperance, prudence, courage, and justice. Christianity derives the three theological virtues of faith, hope and love (charity) from 1 Corinthians.
Aristotle describes ethical virtue as a âhexisâ (âstateâ âconditionâ âdispositionâ)âa tendency or disposition, induced by our habits, to have appropriate feelings (1105b25â6). Defective states of character are hexeis (plural of hexis) as well, but they are tendencies to have inappropriate feelings.
