text:
Gaius Albucius Silus was an ancient Roman orator and teacher of rhetoric under emperor Augustus. He was born and died in Novaria, but made his career in Rome. Suetonius gives a sketch of his life, while Seneca the Elder describes him as an outstanding declaimer. In the novel Albucius (1990), Pascal Quignard invents fifty-three controversiae by Albucius and alternates them with historical and fictional scenes from his life.
