A detail from an illustration of the Stoic philosopher [Epictetus](https://www.worldhistory.org/Epictetus/) (c. 50 CE- c. 130 CE) as imagined in a 15th Century CE scientific manuscript. The manuscript recounts an anachronistic discussion between the [Roman emperor](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Emperor/) [Hadrian](https://www.worldhistory.org/hadrian/) (r. 117 - 138 CE) and Epictetus. The manuscript has been digitized by the National Library of Spain.
