 SYMMACHUS - LoveToKnow Article on SYMMACHUS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Lucius Aurelius Avianius Symmachus, presumably his son, was prefect of Rome in the year 364, and had also other important posts.
After this Symmachus was involved in the rebellion of Maximus, but obtained his pardon from Theodosius, and appears to have continued in public life up to his death.
In these official writings (reports as prefect of the city), Symmachus is not preoccupied by style and becomes sometimes eloquent; especially so in his remarkable report on the altar of Victory.

A prominent Paganism pagan, Symmachus was an opponent of Ambrose Ambrosius, archbishop of Milan.
Hadrian was a relative of Trajan, and although Antonius Pius was not related to Hadrian, the conditions of his being made heir included the adoption of Hadrian s young nephew Marcus Aurelius as heir to Pius.
So, in fact, Aurelius choice to make his son his successor was hardly out of place, and it s likely that had any of the previous emperors had available a suitable son as heir they would have taken the same course of action.
