The development of nobilitas with its innate meanings of gloria and of laus, and the confrontations of civil war, have influenced the evolution of fama, Virgil's winged and evil monster. The coming of the new imperial order then transformed the political term, which assumed a judicial or laudatory significance, while the popular fama was reduced to mere hearsay.

Abstract

Fama in Ancient Rome. - The fama in ancient Roman has been analysed since Varron as the minimal degree of the word : rumor

which does not proceed from reasoning. The development of nobilitas with its innate meanings of gloria and of laus, and the

confrontations of civil war, have influenced the evolution of fama, Virgil's winged and evil monster. The coming of the new

imperial order then transformed the political term, which assumed a judicial or laudatory significance, while the popular fama was

reduced to mere hearsay.
