Lucius Orbilius Pupillus was a Latin grammarian of the 1st century BC, who taught at school, first at Benevento and then at Rome, where the poet Horace was one of his pupils. Horace criticizes his old schoolmaster and describes him as plagosus, and Orbilius has become proverbial as a disciplinarian pedagogue.
