What are the 4 values that ancient Rome was founded on?

Answer 1

There was only one core Roman virtue: Veritas (truthfulness, honesty). It was personified by the goddess Veritas, who, being the mother of Virtus, was considered the root of all virtue. If you lived an honest life you would be bound to be virtuous.
