In response to Orla's post, note here the sign hanging outside the Globe Theatre.... Hercules is shown bearing the whole world. The relatively new professional theatres provided the conceit of play-acting, which foregrounds what Bate calls 'the performative' aspects of human experience. It is a conceit, or extended metaphor, often used in Shakespeare's 'theatre poetry' - after all, is not natural that he would reach for material closest to him?

"Let me have war, say I; it exceeds peace as far as day does night; it's spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent."
A significant problem with the Roman ideal seems to be their inability to function in peacetime. Although virtus means Martius can perform to the highest ability in war, it undoubtedly hinders his ability to behave suitably in peacetime.
