Abstract

At the end of the first century, the Roman Marcus Fabius Quintilianus wrote a treatise called Institutio Oratoria,
which was translated into Georgian as "The Teaching of Oratory". The work was written by Quintilian in order to create an
ideal model of a person in general and an eloquent in particular, which, according to the Roman author, implies an excellent
orator and an even better, honest person, which, according to Quintilian, sounds like this: Vir bonus, dicendi peritus - He is a
good man, he speaks well. When you get acquainted with the work, you realize how much you have to learn to be a good
person and how much more you have to add to become a good orator, that is, to allow yourself to speak to people in public. In
fact, the book is not about eloquence, or rather, not only about eloquence, but about education and the upbringing of a good
citizen, and the issues of education and upbringing are always relevant and of great interest in every era, in every type of
society. In the article, we tried to study the biography of this interesting author.
