Does the word "Virtue" sound archaic?

[The Mikado]

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't mean the value itself, I mean the word alone.  I'm not asking whether the things signified by the word are outdated, I'm asking if the word sounds like a relic.

Yes.  I don't think anyone would title a book The Republic of Virtue in the 21st century.  The word has a sort of stuffy, Roman feel to it that conjures up images of marble busts of the ancients hectoring us.
