Definition: Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus (185/4-129) gathered together a group of writers and thinkers, including Terence (comedy), Polybius (Greek, historian), Panaetius (Stoic, from Rhodes) and Lucilius (responsible for the Roman genre of satire), which is known as the Scipionic Circle.
Some doubt the existence of the Scipionic Circle. The primary source on the subject is Cicero's De amicitia.
