EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Marcus Fabius Quintilianus: The Eminent Roman Rhetorician from Hispania" This evocative statue depicts Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (c. 35-c. 100 AD), an illustrious Roman rhetorician hailing from Hispania, the Iberian Peninsula. The statue, which stands proudly outside in Calahorra, La Rioja, Spain, is a testament to the enduring influence of this ancient figure in the realm of literature and rhetoric. Quintilian, as he is often referred to, was born in the 1st century AD in the province of Hispania Tarraconensis. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of rhetoric and education in the Western world. Quintilian's magnum opus, "Institutio Oratoria," or "The Education of an Orator," is a comprehensive treatise on the art of rhetoric and its application to education. Quintilian's statue wears a tunic, typical of the Roman attire of the time, and holds a scroll, symbolizing his status as a renowned author and scholar. The statue's serene expression and dignified posture convey the wisdom and knowledge that Quintilian imparted to generations of students, both in ancient Rome and beyond. The statue, a memorial to this remarkable personage, stands as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Roman Empire and the enduring influence of its intellectual giants. Quintilian's legacy continues to inspire scholars and educators, making him a vital figure in the annals of European history and literature. This image of Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a tribute to the enduring power of knowledge and the human spirit.
