His father was a rhetorician of some note who practised with success at Rome. It is not surprising therefore to find that the young Quintilian was sent to Rome for his education. Among his teachers were the famous grammaticus Remmius Palaemon, and the no less distinguished rhetorician Domitius Afer.

At Rome he met with great success as a teacher and was the first rhetorician to set up a genuine public school and to receive a salary from the State.
