Note 1147 — Chapter II · QUINTILIAN: DECLAMATIONS AND ORATORS
Reading edition
Hieron., ann. Abr., 2014 = A.D. 88: “Quintilianus ... primus Romae publicam scholam et salarium e fisco accepit et claruit.” Jerome’s date is too late; for Suet. Vesp., 18, shows that Vespasian, who died A.D. 79, first gave the annual grant to rhetores.
