APPENDIX OF AUTHORS AND WORKS<br />

FRONTO, MARCUS CORNELIUS<br />

teacher of Marcus Aurelius <strong>and</strong> Lucius Verus. Consul suffectus 143. d. c. 167, perhaps<br />

considerably later. Sources: Fronto, Epist. passim; Marc. Aur. 1.11; Gell. 2.26, 13.29,<br />

WORKS<br />

A collection of letters <strong>and</strong> essays, partially preserved in a 5th-c. palimpsest (nearly half<br />

lost <strong>and</strong> portions illegible). We have the remains of: letters to <strong>and</strong> from Marcus Aurelius<br />

(9 bks), Lucius Verus (2 bks), <strong>and</strong> Antoninus Pius (1 bk); letters to friends (2 bks);<br />

miscellaneous pieces. Securely datable items range from c. A.D. 139 to 166. Details of<br />

publication unknown: no indication that F. pubd the material himself; it is disordered<br />

<strong>and</strong> the merest ephemera are included. Of his speeches only fragments <strong>and</strong> titles survive.<br />
