Summary
This study is the first to explore the striking intimacy of the early correspondence between Marcus Aurelius and his tutor Fronto (second century AD) as a literary production. Wytse Keulen presents Fronto's letter collection as a self-edited literary monument that brings his most important friendship to life with an emphasis on public appeal.
