Prudentia nelle note di Servio a Virgilio

Servius excludes any reference to "prudentia" as a military quality; he attributes it to deities rather than men; he admits, however, that all men are endowed with it, as beings capable of reasoning and advise. "Prudentia" often takes on a pragmatic value, as the ability to discern and know the behaviour to be kept in the different circumstances of life; as technical and specific knowledge of any discipline; as part of poetic action.
