Nevitta

Flavius Nevitta (fl. 357-363) was a military leader and official in the Roman Empire. His career is closely linked to that of Flavius Claudius Julianus, the Emperor Julian. He was master of the cavalry and in 362 served as consul.

==Life== An officer of Frankish ancestry, Nevitta is first mentioned regarding a battle against the Alamanni who had been pillaging the region of Raetia in 357. The Romans were led by Barbatio and Ammianus Marcellinus writes that "Nevitta, commander of a troop of cavalry and afterwards consul, was present and conducted himself manfully." In 361 Julian promoted Nevitta to the rank of magister equitum.
