ABSTRACT
In the foregoing chapters I dealt with youthful behaviour (leisure activities, the attitude towards the established order); in the next chapter the emotional life of youth will be discussed. Of course, acting, thinking and feeling constitute an indissoluble entity in human (especially youthful) life, but for reasons of surveyability we will discuss in this chapter the intellectual life of Roman youths, the way they experienced study, eloquence, philosophy and poetry.
