 Letter to Riothamus: Sidonius Apollinaris
Sollius Apollinaris Sidonius (since the thirteenth century he has come to be known simply as Sidonius Apollinaris) was born in Lyons c.431 and died c.489.
The letter, written in the late 460's or early 470's, is an appeal to Riothamus, whom Sidonius apparently knows to be a fair-minded and honourable ruler, for justice for "an obscure and humble person," who has suffered a wrong.
