Anicius Probus Faustus
Anicius Probus Faustus was a politician of the Western Roman Empire who served as consul in 490 and as Praetorian prefect of Italy from 509 to 512.Life
Faustus was member of an ancient and noble Roman family, which traced back its origins to the consul of the year 59, Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus. Faustus was the son of Gennadius Avienus, consul in 450; he is known to have two sons, Rufius Magnus Faustus Avienus consul in 502, and Flavius Ennodius Messala consul in 506.
Faustus may be the same ex-consul Faustus mentioned in the Liber Pontificalis as the only aristocrat who supported Pope Symmachus in his conflict with Antipope Laurentius during the years 502–506.
