It was an excellent place to be if you wanted to hear crowds of wretched philosophers heaping abuse on one another-an endless number of historians reading out their imbecilic writings-innumerable poets reciting their drivel to the wild applause of other poets-gaggles of magicians showing their tricks-throngs of fortune-tellers telling fortunes-countless lawyers perverting justice-or armies of peddlers hawking whatever rubbish came to hand. . . . -DIO THE GOLDEN-TONGUED, C.
