As already indicated, Timesitheus was much admired for his culture and learning for which much could be forgiven in Roman Society and his rhetorical prowess no doubt did much to restore his reputation and influence with senior courtiers and senators who were dominant in Imperial politics in the early years of the reign of Gordian III.[17] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7878.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7878.txt
