Aelius Festus Aphthonius was a Latin grammarian of the 4th or 5th century, possibly of African origin, and considered to be one of the most important classical rhetoricians.[1]
He wrote a metrical handbook De Metris, in four books, which was added to the Ars Grammatica of Gaius Marius Victorinus[2]sometime before 400, but not by Victorinus himself.
