Regulus' Admirable Virtue in the Face of Adversity

Regulus, a prominent Roman military figure, exemplifies courage and unwavering commitment to the common good by urging the Senate not to accept a detrimental peace treaty, even at the cost of his own life if the treaty was rejected. His sacrifice demonstrates a belief in virtues over temporal advantages, showcasing a belief in virtuous virtues unrewarded by gods, thus highlighting the genuine worship attributed to false gods.
