Resumo

La invocación del ideal del mos maiorum, entendido como conjunto de virtudes o rasgos ejemplares de los romanos, ha sido estudiada repetidamente en los textos de Cicerón. Analiza el tópico en relación con la discusión en torno a la identidad romana en textos del siglo I a.C. y delimita tres empleos diferentes: uno al que define como típicamente aristocrático, referido a la ascendencia noble de un individuo en particular; un segundo uso que, en vez de individualizar, amalgama a todos los ancestros en un mismo conjunto y establece una continuidad entre pasado y presente; finalmente, una tercera modalidad que propone una ruptura total entre el mundo de los antepasados y el de los contemporáneos. En este trabajo indagaremos el funcionamiento de este tópico en De diuinatione y De natura deorum de Cicerón. Desde nuestro punto de vista, el ideal del mos maiorum no solamente involucra virtudes éticas y morales sino que también supone una especial actitud con respecto a los dioses y el culto que resulta central en la definición de la identidad romana.

The invocation of the ideal of mos maiorum, understood as a set of virtues or exemplar characteristics of the Romans, has been repeatedly examined in Cicero’s texts. Andrew Wallace-Hadrill analyses the topic in relation to the discussion regarding Roman identity in first century B. C. texts and he demarcates three different ways of using it: one which he defines as typically aristocratic, that refers to one particular individual’s noble ancestors; a second use which, instead of singularising, amalgamates all forefathers in a same group and establishes a continuity between past and present; finally, a third way which postulates an absolute gap between the world of the forefathers and the one of the contemporaries. In this paper we will examine how this topic works in Cicero’s De divinatione and De natura deorum. From our viewpoint, the ideal of mos maiorum involves not only ethical and moral virtues, but also represents a special attitude towards gods and worship, which is central in the definition of Roman identity.
