Julius Secundus information


Julius Secundus was a Roman orator and a friend of Quintilian.[1] He is one of the speakers in Tacitus's short dialogue, Dialogus de Oratoribus.[2] In his Institutio Oratoria, Quintilian praises Secundus for the elegance of his oratory as well as the "lucidity, smoothness and beauty" of his speech.[3][4] Though he died an untimely death, Quintilian states that he still holds a high place, and would "undoubtedly have attained a great and enduring reputation" as an orator had he lived longer.[5]
