Arellius Fuscus

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Arellius Fuscus (or Aurelius Fuscus) was an ancient Roman orator. He spoke with ease in both Latin and Greek, in an elegant and ornate style. Charles Thomas Cruttwell says Arelius was an Asiatic, which in all likelihood meant he was a man of a dark complexion.

He was probably the teacher of Ovid and Pliny the Elder. He is mentioned in the Naturalis Historia of the latter. Another pupil was Papirius Fabianus.
