Marcus Cornelius Fronto, teacher of the emperor Antoninus Pius , Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus , came from the province of Numidia in northern Africa . His ancestors were probably the Italian settlers, but as he said about himself, he was a “Libyan born of Libyan nomads”.
In addition, he stated that it was difficult to establish any friendly relations with anyone in Rome , and the Latin did not take into account the feelings between friends.
