This chapter focuses on Flavian education in narrow “Roman” and “Greek” contexts. It begins by surveying Flavian education with the observation that, even in the programmatically narrow sense, it was geographically and culturally diffuse. Plutarch was one of the most important Greek writers in the Flavian and early Antonine periods. Dio treats different aspects of education in several of his speeches. Oration 18 deals with rhetorical instruction for young men, a topic that was exhaustively treated by Quintilian in the Institutio Oratoria. It is important that none of these writers were themselves originally Roman or Italian but came from other regions of the empire. There is a clear Roman-Greek divide: the “Romanized” Quintilian is preoccupied with rhetorical education in the Institutio Oratoria, whereas Plutarch and Dio emphasize philosophy as the culmination of education.
