Description: Who in Rome spoke Greek to whom in what circumstances and with how much ease ? The textual data though they obviously provide neither for modern kind of socio-linguistic survey nor for statistical treatment are far from negligible. Their re-examination allows us to draw the contours bilingualism which was unequally distributed across the social classes and whose quality was surprisingly high at least in the upper classes (Greek was even the first language of numerous influential figures). This phenomenon was due to the education received by wealthier Romans as well as to their constant contacts with Greek intellectuals [Author]
