Focusing on the first and last years of Libanius' Antiochene career
(AD 354-388), this volume illustrates his great range of his
rhetorical skills, while at the same time illuminating the
intrigues of city politics and university life. The shorter
speeches give unparalleled insights into problems of sharply
contemporary relevance - teachers' pay, student indiscipline and
rioting, threats from the rival Latin curriculum, accusations of
professional incompetence, as well as everyday details of academic
life.
