Everything about Remmius Palaemon totally explained
Quintus Remmius Palaemon,
Roman grammarian, a native of
Vicentia, lived in the reigns of
Tiberius and
Claudius.
From
Suetonius (
De grammaticis, 23) we learn that he was originally a
slave who obtained his freedom and taught grammar at
Rome. Though a man of profligate and arrogant character, he enjoyed a great reputation as a teacher;
Quintilian and
Persius are said to have been his pupils. His lost
Ars (Juvenal,
Satire VII, 215), a system of
grammar much used in his own time and largely drawn upon by later grammarians, contained rules for correct
diction, illustrative quotations and treated of barbarisms and
solecisms (Juvenal vi. 452). An extant
Ars grammatica (discovered by
Jovianus Pontanus in the
15th century) and other unimportant treatises on similar subjects have been wrongly ascribed to him.
