Julius Genitor
teacher of rhetoric (rhetor); correspondent of Pliny the Younger|Rome
Julius Genitor was a teacher of rhetoric (rhetor) active in Rome around the turn of the 2nd century AD, known chiefly as a friend and correspondent of Pliny the Younger, who addressed several letters to him (in Books 3, 7, and 9 of the Epistulae). Pliny recommended Genitor as a tutor and praised him as a serious, upright man of austere character, in one letter contrasting his earnest moral seriousness with the lighter entertainments of the city. Beyond Pliny's portrayal he is little independently attested, but the correspondence places him securely within the literary and educational milieu of Trajanic Rome.
