<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4396894, member: 110504&quot;]One cool thing about Gallienus is that he was a patron, to some extent, of the philosopher Plotinus, founder of Neoplatonism.&nbsp; There&#039;s mention of this in the Wiki article about Plotinus (under &quot;Biography: Later life&quot;).</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotinus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotinus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotinus</a></p><p>Neoplatonism is kind of a watershed in Western philosophy.&nbsp; It comes directly out of the Hellenistic tradition, but its somewhat mystical tilt foreshadows developments in earlier Medieval traditions.&nbsp; Across religious traditions, although Augustine, for one, was heavily influenced by him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
