Philostratus

Philostratus or Lucius Flavius Philostratus, called "the Athenian", was a Greek sophist of the Roman imperial period. His father was a minor sophist of the same name. He flourished during the reign of Septimius Severus and died during that of Philip the Arab, probably in Tyre. He was the biographer of Apollonius of Tyana, and coined the term "Second Sophistic", and catalogued its main figures.
