'Arellius Fuscus' (or 'Aurelius Fuscus') was an ancient Roman orator. He spoke with ease in both Latin and Greek, in an elegant and ornate style.
He was probably the teacher of Ovid^[1] and Pliny the Elder. He is mentioned in the ''Naturalis Historia'' of the latter. Another pupil was Papirius Fabianus.^[2]
