Quintilian wrote and published his one surviving work, Institutione Oratoria, in twelve books. It describes the life and training of an orator from birth until maturity. Book 12 sums up the discussion of an ideal orator by elucidating the personal and moral characteristics "a good man who knows how to speak" (Quintilian quoting Cato the Elder). Quintilian insisted on eloquence as a moral force, but was most concerned with good content to help shape sensible men.<br/><br/>
