Quintilian, a Roman rhetorician, emphasized the importance of education in forming well-rounded individuals. His work "Institutio Oratoria" laid the foundation for modern educational theory by advocating for a curriculum that focused on language, literature, and ethics. Quintilian's emphasis on the role of the teacher as a mentor and guide had a lasting impact on the development of educational practices.
