Aurelius Opilius
Opilius Aurelius was a Roman physician[1] who taught at Rome, first philosophy, then rhetoric, then grammar. He is placed next in order to Saevius Nicanor by Suetonius.[2]
He gave up his school on the condemnation of Rutilius Rufus in 92 BC. He later accompanied Rufus to Smyrna, where they grew old together as friends.[2]
