Antiochus Gabinius
Antiochus Gabinius was a Roman painter who worked in the 1st century BC. Was active in Rome .
He is known from the 18th letter of the fourth book of the extant collection of letters from the speaker Cicero to Atticus , in which he is listed as a freedman and official ( accensus ) of the Roman politician Aulus Gabinius . Since manuscripts that differ from the letter have survived, further biographical details are considered uncertain. Antiochus probably came from Syria and possibly he was a student of the respected portrait painter Sopolis , who was still around 54 BC. Maintained a painting school in Rome. It is unclear whether he was still active at the time the letter was written. Nothing is known of the work of Antiochus Gabinius.
