From the Paper:

"Born in 70 B.C. along the northern most boarders of the Italian peninsula, Publius Virgilius Maro was just another child in another poor Mantuan home. But unlike most other Romans of his social status, Publius received a well-rounded education, one that was accented heavily on philosophy and more importantly rhetoric (the main two subject in the ancient education.) As his skills developed and driven to continue his education, he moved south to the City to finish schooling."
