Timagenes
Ancient Greek writer · Writers
Timagenes was a Greek writer, historian and teacher of rhetoric, son of a royal banker. Suda writes that some say that he was Egyptian. He came from Alexandria, was captured by Romans in 55 BC and taken to Rome, where he was purchased by Faustus Cornelius Sulla, son of Sulla.
Timagenes is read about 10 times a day, in 14 languages.
