Procopius (Romans)
Procopius was the name of various Romans who lived during the fourth and fifth centuries, most of whom were connected with the emperor Anthemius. It is unclear whether Procopius was a nomen gentilicium or a cognomen, as it only occurs late in Roman history, and no individuals with the name are known to have borne the traditional tria nomina of praenomen, nomen, and cognomen.
