title = "Philosophy and Platonism in Fronto{\textquoteright}s Correspondence",
abstract = "This chapter focuses on the references and allusions to Plato in Fronto{\textquoteright}s epistolary corpus, especially in his correspondence with Marcus Aurelius, to whom Fronto taught rhetoric. Attention will be paid to Fronto{\textquoteright}s engagement with philosophy and his high esteem for Plato and (Middle) Platonism: Plato symbolizes the perfect synthesis between philosophy and rhetoric, which Fronto measures against the fallacy of Stoic dialectic, and Platonic elements play an important function in several letters.",
