Description
Introduction This article considers the Roman orator, Marcus Cornelius Fronto, teacher of the young Marcus Aurelius, in his guise as African expatriate at Rome. Its title is based on a claim that Fronto makes in a letter to Marcus Aurelius's mother, written in Greek, that his Greek is bad, for he, like the Scythian barbarian-philosopher Anacharsis, is merely a 'Libyan of the Libyan nomads' (1)--that is, an African barbarian, (2) whose Greek lacks polish. Fronto poses as a foreigner, a perpetual outsider, the quintessential Other of modern sociological discourse.
