Description

Presents a study of the 4th-century sophist Libanius, a major intellectual figure who ran one of the most prestigious schools of rhetoric in the later Roman Empire. This book examines Libanius' training and personality, and traces how he cultivated a wide network of friends and former pupils and courted powerful officials to recruit top students.
