Grice e Vigellio: la ragione conversazionale al portico romano – filosofia italiana – Luigi Speranza, pel Gruppo di Gioco di H. P. Grice, The Swimming-Pool Library (Roma). Filosofo italiano. Amico ed allievo di Panezio. Stoic philosopher. A riend and pupil of Panaetius, with whom he also lives. He is noted by CICERONE in “De Oratore” to have also been a friend of Lucio Licinio CRASSIO (vide), the greatest Roman orator prior to CICERONE. All other information has been lost.  See also List of Stoic philosophers. References: Blits, “The Heart of Rome: Ancient Rome’s Political Culture”; CICERONE. The first Stoic philosopher in Rome is the famous Panezio, who joins The Scipionic Circle, lives for a while in SCIPIONE’s home and travels with him for more than a year on a public embassy to the East. Besides SCIPIONE, consul, and censor, at least six  *other* consuls study under Panaetius. They include LELIO and L. FURIO, both of whom, along with SCIPIONE and Polibio, hear the three Greek philosophers at Rome; FANNIO; Q. Elio TUBERONE, suffect consul, Q. Mucio SCEVOLA, and Rutilio RUFO. In addition, Spurio Mummio, one of the legates sent to settle Greek affairs is trained in the doctrine of il PORTICO (Cicero, “Bruto”). V., friend of CRASSIO, consul, is Panezio’s friend and pupil, and lives with him (CICERONE, “De oratore”); and Sesto POMPEO, son of the governor of Macedonia, brother of a consul, and uncle of POMPEO maggiore, withdraws from politics in order to devote himself to the philosophy of the Portico (CICERONE, Bruto, De oratore). Portico. Pupil of Panezio. Marco Vigellio. Marcus Vigellius. Luigi Speranza for H. P. Grice’s Play-Group, The Swimming-Pool Library, Villa Speranza.
