Meaning of graeculus




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

graeculus
  13

Diminutive something derogatory of graecus, grieguecillo . This is how the Romans called Emperor Hadrian, who from his first formation had a predilection for Greek literature, language and culture. Despite being born in Italica like his uncle Trajan and perhaps Theodosius in the province of Baetica near Hispalis, he was one of the emperors preferred by the Greeks. His outward appearance with manicured beard resembled him to a Greek philosopher.
