  Libanius lived in Antioch (Syria) where he was a teacher of rhetoric: his school was the most important in the East and students flocked there from many countries. This title shows that Libanius was a major figure in his city, in frequent contact with influential officials and governors, and that he even had a relationship with the Emperor Julian.
