Athenaeum

（Ἀθήναιον). The first public educational institution at Rome, built by Hadrian about A.D. 135. The building was in the form of a theatre, and brilliantly fitted up. There rhetoricians and poets held their recitations, and salaried professors gave their lectures in the various branches of general liberal education—philosophy and rhetoric, as well as grammar and jurisprudence. This continued until at least the fifth century a. d.
