The first Roman school of literature was opened about Stilo's time by Marcus Saevius Nicanor Postumus, the first separate school for Latin rhetoric about 660 by Lucius Plotius Gallus; but ordinarily instructions in rhetoric were also given in the Latin schools of literature. This new Latin school-instruction was of the most comprehensive importance.
V. SAEVIUS NICANOR first acquired fame and reputation by his teaching: and, besides, he made commentaries, the greater part of which, however, are said to have been borrowed. He also wrote a satire, in which he informs us that he was a freedman, and had a double cognomen, in the following verses; Saevius Nicanor Marci libertus negabit, Saevius Posthumius idem, sed Marcus, docebit.

Crushing, I consider it. His logic is final and irrefutable. What can anyone say against Saevius Nicanor? ah, what indeed?" demanded Jurgen. And he wondered if there might not have been perchance some such persons somewhere, after all. Their names, in any event, sounded very plausible to Jurgen. "Ah, dearie, I was never one for learning. It may be as you say." "You say 'it may be', godmother.
And, moreover, chastisements that are inflicted with weight and discretion are much better received and with greater benefit by him who suffers; otherwise, he will not think himself justly condemned by a man transported with anger and fury, and will allege his master's excessive passion, his inflamed countenance, his unwonted oaths, his emotion and precipitous rashness, for his own justification: "Ora tument ira, nigrescunt sanguine venae, Lumina Gorgoneo saevius igne micant."
What Saevius Nicanor, the freedman of Marcus, will deny, The same Saevius, called also Posthumius Marcus, will assert. It is reported, that in consequence of some infamy attached to his character, he retired to Sardinia, and there ended his days. VI. AURELIUS OPILIUS , the freedman of some Epicurean, first taught philosophy, then rhetoric, and last of all, grammar.
" And what I give I can retract at will!" "Come, come, you know very well you can do nothing of the sort. I refer you to Saevius Nicanor. None of the Leshy can ever take back the priceless gift of youth. "Now, but I am becoming angry " "To the contrary, as I perceive with real regret, you are becoming ridiculous, since you dispute the authority of Saevius Nicanor."
The death of so many innocent and worthy citizens seemed less a calamity than the insolence and disgraceful opulence of their murderers and denouncers. Every day the sacred and inviolable informer made his triumphant entry into the palace of the dead, and received some rich heritage. All these denouncers assumed illustrious names, and called themselves Cotta, Scipio, Regulus, Saevius, Severus.
