I remember reading about that. They said he wasn't a bad poet, either, and that he had a nifty turn of phrase. The anecdote that sticks with me is a remark he made about a conceited friend: "Oh, to be as good-looking as Maecius thinks he is!"

I can see why many people liked the guy. He was charming, witty and erudite.
