R. Elazar b. Shamu'a studied under several teachers, but eventually became a devoted student of R. Akiva. He stayed with him even when the latter was awaiting execution. He then left Palestine, returning to set up an academy in the Galilee. Among his students was the future Nasi, R. Yehudah. Though R. Elazar was reputed to have lived to 105, he too was eventually executed by the Romans.
