Cassius Longinus
Cassius Longinus (Greek: Κάσσιος Λογγῖνος; 213–273) was a famous Greek rhetorician and philosopher. He served as an adviser to Queen Zenobia. After Aurelian captured Palmyra, he was executed for supporting Queen Zenobia. There are fragments of his works handed down to the world. He was once regarded as the author of "On the Sublime", but this is generally not considered so now.
