- Title
Discursive Constructions of Corruption in Ancient Rome: Introduction.
- Authors
Carlà-Uhink, Filippo; Morcillo, Marta García
- Abstract
This article delves into the topic of corruption in ancient Rome and its relevance to contemporary society. It emphasizes that corruption is not solely defined by legal or criminal actions, but also by societal and cultural norms. The article explores various forms of corruption in ancient Rome, such as bribery and embezzlement, and argues that a comprehensive understanding of corruption requires interdisciplinary research and consideration of cultural, psychological, and ethical factors. It suggests alternative perspectives, such as new institutional economics and behavioral ethics, that can inform more effective anti-corruption policies. The goal is to challenge traditional assumptions and deepen our understanding of corruption in both ancient and modern contexts.
