- Title
Ammianus 30.5.4 and the Career of Petronius Probus.
- Authors
Teitler, H. C.
- Abstract
The article examines the career of Sextus (Sex.) Claudius Petrius Probus, a powerful Roman consul in 371 Anno Domini (AD), using the historical account "Ammianus 30.5.4," by the fourth century Roman soldier and historian Ammianus Marcellinus. Topics discussed include Probus' first and third praetorian prefectures. Also mentioned are an assertion that the historical account referred to the year 364 AD and not 375 as some historians proposed as well as the law of the Theodosian Code.
