Favorinus+the+Gaul

Favorinus the Gaul was one of the leading intellectual figures during Hadrian's time, and was also a well-known Sophist. He was big into Hellenism. He was described as a hermaphrodie with no beard and a high-pitched voice. Favorinus had known arguemtns with Emperor Hadrian, and after one of them, he was laughed at by his friends. His response to this was: "You must allow me to consider him to be more learned- he is the Lord of Thirty Legions".
