Memorial construction and family tradition in the story of Coriolanus: the case of Valeria and female cooperation

Abstract
The story of Coriolanus emphasises the success of an embassy that persuaded Coriolanus to abandon his plan to attack Rome. Tradition often highlights Coriolanus' mother and wife, but Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Plutarch emphasise the decisive role played by Valeria, the sister of P. Valerius Publicola. This version of the story of Coriolanus invites us to question the place of memory construction and the influence of the Valerii on the establishment of a version favourable to the gens.
