Template:Short description Alexander of Aegae (Greek: Script error: No such module "Lang".) was a Peripatetic philosopher who flourished in Rome in the 1st century AD, and was a disciple of the celebrated mathematician Sosigenes of Alexandria.[1] He was tutor to the emperor Nero.[2][3] He wrote commentaries on the Categories[4] and the De Caelo[5] of Aristotle.[6] He had a son named Caelinus or Caecilius.[2] Attempts in the 19th century to ascribe some of the works of Alexander of Aphrodisias to Alexander of Aegae have been shown to be mistaken.[7]
