The six different virtues that were displayed were, honesty displayed by Regulus, service without reward displayed by Cincinnatus, courage displayed by Horatius, forgiveness displayed by Saul and compassion/kindness displayed by Androcles. Among those six virtues, the virtue that was the greatest was the virtue of service without reward, which was displayed by Cincinnatus.

Intellectual virtues are that of applied wisdom and intelligence.

When discipline is lacking in an army personnel, it not only affects their own performance but also the team as a whole. It is therefore important to instil discipline early and effectively.
