Plotinus was a legendary philosopher known as the founder of Neoplatonism. He was born in Lycopolis but moved to Alexandria to learn philosophy where he became a student to Ammonius Saccas. He stayed there for the next 11 years to study under him, and soon gained an interest to learn from Persian and Indian philosophers. He tried moving to Persia by joining the army but failed and eventually moved to Rome.
