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.
Virtue ethics is person rather than action based: it looks at the virtue or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than at ethical duties and rules, or the consequences of particular actions. An action is only right if it is an action that a virtuous person would carry out in the same circumstances. 2  A virtuous person is a person who acts virtuously. 3  A person acts virtuously if they possess and live the virtues. 4  A virtue is a moral characteristic that a person needs to live well.
