Abstract
This work aims to show that the Livian text of the patrician M. Postumius Regillensis was created as an exemplary tale with the intention of offering a moral lesson on the political concept of moderation (moderatio). Through the configuration of the bad ruler, who acts based on emotions such as anger, the author illustrates the fatal consequences for the ruler himself, as well as for those ruled by him, who let themselvesbe dragged by similar emotions.
