This paper analyses the virtue of σωφροσύνη in Julian’s Panegyric in honour to Eusebia, particularly Eusebia’s representation as Σωφροσύνη αὐτή. It is explored as a potential link between Σωφροσύνη αὐτή and an iconographic model called Pudicitia, spread over the Western and Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the relationship of Eusebia to Penelope, Ulises’ wife, in order to find the ultimate meaning of this depiction.
