Glossary

Limes: The Romans used the word "Limes" to refer to their borders, which they fortified to defend them from possible invaders. They populated them with the soldiers and their families, who settled in the area, attracting all kinds of merchants on both sides of Limes itself. Soon these small settlements became settlements in which the cultures of both sides merged, naturally, giving rise to a society halfway between what it was and what it promised to be.

Ύβρις: Transliterated "Hibris or Hybris", the word is a Greek concept that refers to the excess on oneself and their actions. It is related to an exaggerated pride that makes us go beyond what our capabilities can encompass. It is in itself the lack of humility and just measure; and the excess of confidence in our own capacities, which make us stand out from others, ceasing to be fair to them.

Αρετή: Transliterated "Areté", is a Greek concept that refers to excellence or the best of oneself. It is the unification of several virtues into one: courage, prudence, justice and moderation. The set itself was a reflection of the best that one could become as a citizen. He understood control over oneself, the ability to become the best one can be, always taking into account others and justice for them.
