What subject did Artemidorus teach?

• A. Rhetoric
• B. Philosophy
• C. Grammar
• D. Geometry

Answer: (A)

Rhetoric is the subject being portrayed. In the text, Artemidorus is presented as a teacher of rhetoric—the craft of persuasive speaking and writing used to influence public action. He composes and carries a letter that names the conspirators and urges Caesar to read it, a move that hinges on skillful word choice, audience awareness, and persuasive appeal. That focus on how to argue, convince, and communicate effectively in public life is the hallmark of rhetoric, not grammar (language rules), philosophy (theory of mind and ethics), or geometry (shapes and formulas). So his role aligns with teaching rhetoric.
