مستخلص: This paper argues for the presence and legibility of non-elite exempla within Livy's first pentad and makes a case for the study of non-elite exempla in other Roman literary works. The paper makes use of several case studies to argue that non-elite exempla within Livy are treated differently, being built around specific non-threatening virtues, primarily pietas. It finds that Livian non-elite exempla are complex and have serious issues with regards to agency and the potential for emulation. The paper also examines why Livy deployed these non-elite exemplary stories. To conclude, the paper engages with Matthew Roller's 2018 "Model of Roman Exemplarity," ultimately arguing that this model does not account for the complications of Livy's non-elite exempla , and that changes and allowances need to be made with Roller's model in order to apply it to them.
