	Avitus of Vienne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Avitus was born of a prominent Gallo-Roman family closely related to the Emperor Avitus and other illustrious persons, and in which episcopal honors were hereditary (his father Isychius preceded him as bishop of Vienne).
		The letters of Avitus are of considerable importance for the ecclesiastical and political history of the years between 499 and 518, as primary sources of early Merovingian political, ecclesiastical, and social history.
		Avitus is not the author of the so-called Dialogues with King Gundobad, written to defend the Catholic faith against the Arians, which purports to represent the famous Colloquy of Lyon in 449.

	Avitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Made Magister militum (or Master of Soldiers) by the emperor Petronius Maximus, Avitus was sent on a diplomatic mission to his old student, Theodoric II king of the Visigoths, and was at Theodoric's court in Toulouse when Gaiseric invaded Rome, bringing Petronius Maximus's rule to a sudden end.
		Theodoric seized the opportunity and urged Avitus to assume the imperial throne, and with the acclamation of a gathering of Gallo-Roman senators, allowed himself to be persuaded.
		His grandson was the poet Avitus of Vienne.

	Avitus - Wikipedia
		Door keizer Petronius Maximus benoemd tot Magister militum, werd Avitus op een diplomatieke missie gestuurd naar zijn vroegere leerling Theodorik II, koning van de Visigoten, en hij was aan Theodoriks hof in Toulouse toen Geiseric Rome binnenviel, waarmee Petronius Maximus' regering ten einde kwam.
		Theodorik spoorde Avitus aan de keizerskroon voor zich op te eisen, en aldus gebeurde ten overstaan van de Gallo-Romeinse senatoren.
		Avitus werd nooit erg geliefd bij het volk.

	<i>DIR</p> Avitus
		In 455, Avitus was appointed magister militum praesentalis ("Master of Soldiers in the Presence") by the short-lived emperor Petronius Maximus and was sent as an ambassador to the Visigoths, presumably to reconfirm them in their federate status.
		Avitus, therefore, was stripped of his imperial dignity and forcibly consecrated bishop of Piacenza, the first time that this novel method was used to dispose of a deposed emperor.
		Avitus' brief reign was the last significant attempt in the western empire to reverse the trend toward the Italianization of the empire.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Avitus
		He pursued with earnestness and success the extinction of the Arian heresy in the barbarian Kingdom of Burgundy (443-532), won the confidence of King Gundobad, and converted his son, King Sigismund (516-523).
		He is one of the last masters of the art of rhetoric as taught in the schools of Gaul in the fourth and fifth centuries.
		In recent times Julien Havet has demonstrated (Questions mérovingiennes, Paris, 1885), that Avitus is not the author of the "Dialogi cum Gundobado Rege", a defence of the Catholic Faith against the Arians, purporting to represent the famous Colloquy of Lyons in 449, and first published by d'Achéry (1661) in his "Spicilegium" (V, 110-116).

		Avitus, after a decent resistance, accepted the Imperial diadem from the representatives of Gaul; and his election was ratified by the acclamations of the Barbarians and provincials.
		Theodoric, to whom Avitus was indebted for the purple, had acquired the Gothic sceptre by the murder of his elder brother Torismond; and he justified this atrocious deed by the design which his predecessor had formed of violating his alliance with the empire.
		Whilst the king of the Visigoths fought and vanquished in the name of Avitus, the reign of Avitus had expired; and both the honor and the interest of Theodoric were deeply wounded by the disgrace of a friend, whom he had seated on the throne of the Western empire.

	<i>DIR</p> Majorian
		Avitus' forces were defeated at Piacenza and Ravenna, and he died in early 457.
		After Avitus' deposition Majorian initially bided his time, perhaps because he was hoping for recognition from the eastern emperor Marcian.
		In early January, 459, with the mediation of Majorian's magister epistularum ("Chief of Correspondence") Petrus, Avitus' son-in-law Sidonius Apollinaris was permitted to deliver a panegyric praising the emperor's sterling qualities (Carm.5) Majorian then proposed a much more magnanimous Gallic settlement; indeed, it could hardly have been otherwise if he hoped to conciliate the Gauls.

	Pro A. Cluentio Habito by Marcus Tullius Cicero: English Text
		Aulus Cluentius Avitus, this man's father, O judges, was a man by far the most distinguished for valor, for reputation and for nobleness of birth, not only of the municipality of Larinum, of which he was a native, but also of all that district and neighborhood.
		Avitus was at that time in delicate health; and he was employing a physician of no great reputation, but a man of tried skill and honesty, by name Cleophantus, whose slave, Diogenes, Fabricius began to tamper with, and to induce by promises and bribes to give poison to Avitus.
		Avitus immediately communicated the business to Marcus Bebrius, a senator, his most intimate friend; and I imagine you all recollect what a loyal, and prudent, and worthy man he was.

	Avitus bei Ratgeber Lexikon - Beschreibung und Bedeutung
		Auf Forderung des westgotischen Königs wurde nun - was Bände aussagt über die Schwäche des Römisches Reich - in Beaucaire eine außerordentliche Sitzung der römischen Statthalter einberufen, die Avitus ihr Placet als Kaiser gaben.
		Auch die letzten verbliebenen möglichen Stolpersteine für Avitus wurden beseitigt, als der oströmische Kaiser Markian Avitus anerkannte und als schlussendlich auch die Zustimmung aus der fast mittlerweile fast völlig vernichteten Römische Provinz Pannonien kam.
		Der Kaiser entschied, diese Truppen zu entlassen, beging damit jedoch einen schwerwiegenden Fehler: Um die Entlassungen zu finanzieren, liess er zahlreiche Bronzestatuen in und um Rom einschmelzen und versetzen, was die Bürger noch mehr anstachelte.

	Rome - Vol III, Chapter XXXVI, Part 2
		On the first day of January, his son-in-law, Sidonius Apollinaris, celebrated his praises in a panegyric of six hundred verses; but this composition, though it was rewarded with a brass statue, 24 seems to contain a very moderate proportion, either of genius or of truth.
		He chose that moment to signify to Avitus, that his reign was at an end; and the feeble emperor, at a distance from his Gothic allies, was compelled, after a short and unavailing struggle to abdicate the purple.
		His resentment prompted him to join, or at least to countenance, the measures of a rebellious faction in Gaul; and the poet had contracted some guilt, which it was incumbent on him to expiate, by a new tribute of flattery to the succeeding emperor.

		Whilst the king of the Visigoths fought and vanquished in the name of Avitus, the reign of Avitus had expired; and both the honour and interest of Theodoric were deeply wounded by the disgrace of a friend whom he had seated on the throne of the Western empire.
		Avitus, at a time when the Imperial dignity was reduced to a pre-eminence of toil and danger, indulged himself in the pleasures of Italian luxury: age had not extinguished his amorous inclinations; and he is accused of insulting, with indiscreet and ungenerous raillery, the husbands whose wives he had seduced or violated.
		Avitus left only one daughter, the wife of Sidonius Apollinaris, who inherited the patrimony of his father-in-law; lamenting, at the same time, the disappointment of his public and private expectations.

		The pressing solicitations of the senate and people persuaded the emperor Avitus to fix his residence at Rome, and to accept the consulship for the ensuing year.
		The poet, if we may degrade that sacred name, exaggerates the merit of a sovereign and a father; and his prophecy of a long and glorious reign was soon contradicted by the event.
