NEAPOLIS, Schools of.
In the first century of the Roman empire, "Neapolis [modern
Naples] had its schools and colleges, as well as Athens; its
society abounded in artists and men of letters, and it enjoyed
among the Romans the title of the learned, which comprehended
in their view the praise of elegance as well as knowledge."
