Dignitas (Roman concept)
''Dignitas'' is a Latin word referring to a unique, intangible, and culturally subjective social concept in the ancient Roman mindset. The word does not have a direct translation in English. Some interpretations include "dignity", which is a ''derivation'' from "dignitas", and "prestige" or "charisma".
With respect to ancient Rome, ''dignitas'' was regarded as the sum of the personal clout and influence that a male citizen acquired throughout his life. When weighing the ''dignitas'' of a particular individual, factors such as personal reputation, moral standing, and ethical worth had to be considered, along with the man's entitlement to respect and proper treatment.
==Origins==
Authors who had used ''dignitas'' extensively in their writings and oratories include Cicero, Julius Caesar, Tacitus, and Livy. The most prolific user was Cicero, who initially related it to the established term ''auctoritas'' (authority). These two words were highly associated, with the latter defined as the expression of a man's ''dignitas''.
