		Macrobius was a late Roman neoplatonic grammarian and philosopher who wrote several eclectic works that were much read in the Middle Ages.
		Macrobius' 5th century commentary carries further the statement of Cicero concerning the habitable character of this southern zone, specifically known as the Antichthon.

		Many early medieval manuscripts of Macrobius include maps of the Earth, including the antipodes, zonal maps showing the Ptolemaic climates derived from the concept of a spherical Earth and a diagram showing the Earth (labeled as globus terrae, the sphere of the Earth) at the center of the hierarchically ordered planetary spheres.

	Macrobius Biography / Profile
		It is unclear to which late, imperial Macrobius (ma-KROH-bee-uhs) the three literary works surviving under this name should be attributed.
		Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius’s only complete work to survive, Comentarii in Somnium Scipionis (n.d.; Commentary on the Dream of Scipio, 1952), is a commentary on Cicero’s Somnium Scipionis (“Dream of Scipio”), part of De Republica (n.d.; English translation, 1948), which is an important source for the history of Neoplatonic thought.
		Macrobius was not widely read during the Middle Ages, received much greater attention during the Renaissance, and in modern times attracts attention mainly for his preservation of fragments from earlier authors.

		He was thought to be the Macrobius who was a vicar of Spain in 399, or possibly the Macrobius who was the proconsul of Africa of 410, or maybe the Macrobius who was imperial grand chamberlain of 422; historians could not be certain if these positions reflected two or three persons of that name.
		Cameron argued that Macrobius was known in his time by his last name, Theodosius, and the only Theodosius he could find from the relevant period was the praetorian prefect of Italy in 430.
		Macrobius was also a grammarian, but only fragments exist of his sole surviving work.

		The earliest extrabiblical reference to the Massacre of the Innocents is by Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius, a Roman philosopher of the 4th century.
		Unlike Matthew, Macrobius places the massacre in a Syrian province and combines it with the separate killing of one of Herod's sons.
		Because of Macrobius’ conflation of two different accounts and the fact that he shows no other signs of dependence on Matthew, New Testament scholar Paul Barnett has posited that Macrobius was relying on an independent source.

		Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius was a Roman grammarian and Neoplatonist philosopher who flourished during the reigns of Honorius and Arcadius (395–423).
		He may be identical with a Macrobius who is mentioned in the Codex Theodosianus as a praetorian prefect of Spain in 399-400, proconsul of Africa in 410, and lord chamberlain in 422, although he has also been identified with a Theodosius who served as praetorian prefect of Italy in 430.
		Since the tenure of high office at that date was limited to Christians, and there is no evidence in the writings of Macrobius that he was a Christian, early writers questioned both Macrobius's Christianity and his holding of high civil office.
