I DREAM'D in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the
rest of the earth,
I dream'd that was the new city of Friends,
Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love, it led
the rest,
It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,
And in all their looks and words.
Walt Whitman

Welcome to my Domus! I am a Greek philosopher, despite my family name. Chrysostom means "golden-mouthed" and I hope I will honour it. I was born in Prusa (modern Bursa) in Bithynia. I lived at Rome under Emperor Domitian, who subsequently banished me. I traveled widely, finally returning to Rome in the favor of emperors Nerva and Trajan. I leaned toward the philosophy of the Cynics and Stoics. With Plutarch I shared in the revival of Greek literature in the 1st century.
The image you can see at your right is from Late Roman Theodosian Style and represents the mosaics from the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Ravenna, aa. 430
