Afranius Syagrius

Afranius Syagrius^[i] (fl. 345–382) was a Roman politician and administrator.

Life

Afranius was a member of the Roman aristocratic family of the Syagrii, which originated in Lyon.^[3] In the same years in which Afranius lived, another Syagrius is attested (he was consul in 381), and it is not always possible to distinguish the career of the two Syagrii.

In 369, Afranius is attested as notarius. In that year, the Roman Emperor Valentinian I removed him from his office after a failed military operation, and Afranius dedicated himself to private life.

He continued his career under Emperor

Praetorian prefect of Italy.^[3] In 381 he was also praefectus urbi

of Rome and Consul in 382.

Notes
