DESCRIPTION:Speaker : Remus Valsan\, a student member of the\nQRCPCL\nAbstr
 act : The epithet bonus vir\n('upright man') was used to characterize a Ro
 man citizen who stood\nout as a model of trustworthiness (fides). To be\nc
 onsidered a bonus vir\, one had to display a remarkable fides\,\nconsistin
 g in repeated displays of wisdom (prudentia or\nsapientia) and justice (iu
 stitia) and safeguarded\nby the absence of any suspicion of fraud or decei
 t.\nEmbodiments of trustworthiness\, the upright men were often\nappealed 
 to by ordinary people in various circumstances in which\nthey needed prote
 ction\, justice\, or reliable decision-making. Thus\,\nboni viri became es
 teemed arbiters\, who were trusted to\ngive equitable and just decisions i
 n extra-judicial settlements of\nconflicts.\nThe next step in the evolutio
 n of the profile of bonus\nvir was the transformation from a concrete trus
 tworthy person\ninto an abstract standard of judgment that was expected fr
 om a\nperson in a position to decide for someone else. Justinian's Digest
 \nprovides numerous instances where a person in the position to\nexercise 
 discretion over someone else's interests was called to\ndecide as a bonus 
 vir would do.\nCold drinks and cookies will be served.\n
