Martianus Capella
![Grammar teaching, from a 10th-century manuscript of ''De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii''](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/da/Martianus_Capella_grammaire_2.jpg)
His single encyclopedic work, ''De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii'' ("On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury"), also called ''De septem disciplinis'' ("On the seven disciplines"), is an elaborate didactic allegory written in a mixture of prose and elaborately allusive verse.
Martianus often presents philosophical views based on Neoplatonism, the Platonic school of philosophy pioneered by Plotinus and his followers.
Like his near-contemporary Macrobius, who also produced a major work on classical Roman religion, Martianus never directly identifies his own religious affiliation. Much of his work occurs in the form of dialogue, and the views of the interlocutors may not represent the author's own. Provided by Wikipedia
