| 释义 |
Damianus (fl. 2nd century AD) was a member of the Second sophistic who lived in Ephesus. He is best known a source for Philostratus, the author of Lives of the Sophists, for his biographies of Aelius Aristides and Adrianus,[1] as well as being a philanthropolist in his home town. He was born to a wealthy and distinguished family, and was a student of Aristides and Adrianus. As a sophist, Damianus not only taught in Ephesus, but provided funds to support the city's poor but contributed funds to restore public buildings.[2] Notable buildings include an elaborate marble portico to connect the city to the Temple of Artemis, and a large dining hall in the sanctuary of the Temple.[3] Damianus married the daughter of Publius Vedius Antoninus, a leading decurion of Ephesus; their descendents became members of the Roman Senate, including three consuls and two wives of consuls.[4] References1. ^Lives of the Sophists, II.23.4 {{AncientGreece-bio-stub}}2. ^G.W.
