The Discourse on the Difference Between Audacity and Real Fortitude in De bellis by Procopius of Caesarea
In De bellis by Procopius of Caesarea, there are multiple, though quite dispersed, instances of a discourse concentrated thematically on the distinction between true fortitude and audacity, with the latter being a mere semblance of the former, and actually a vice that is just the opposite of fortitude.
