History of European Morals From Augustus to Charlemagne (Vol. 1 of 2)
History of European Morals from Augustus to Charlemagne, Vol. 1, published by William Edward Hartpole Lecky in 1869, opens with a long chapter on the natural history of morals, in which Lecky argues against the utilitarians that the moral sense is intuitive and examines how the moral standards of a society change over time. He then turns to the pagan empire: the Stoicism of Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, the Roman attitude to suicide, slavery, the gladiatorial games and the position of women, and the decline of the old religion before the arrival of Christianity. The second volume carries the story through the conversion of Rome to the age of Charlemagne. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
