Article

Base of statue dedicated to Theodosius by Sextus Aurelius Victor (CIL 6.1186) Sextus Aurelius Victor (c. 320 – c. 390) was a historian and politician of the Roman Empire. Victor was the author of a now-lost monumental history of imperial Rome covering the period from Augustus to Constantius II. Under the emperor Julian (361-363), Victor served as governor of Pannonia Secunda in 361; in 389 he became praefectus urbi (urban prefect), senior imperial official in Rome.

His surviving work, entitled De Caesaribus is a brief epitome of his history, and was originally titled in the two surviving manuscripts Aurelii Victoris Historiae Abbreviatae. The work was published in 361.
