Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (consul 446)

5th-century Roman senator


Summary

5th-century Roman senator

Biography

Aurelius Symmachus was a member of the Symmachi family. He was probably the son of Quintus Fabius Memmius Symmachus (and therefore grandson of the orator Quintus Aurelius Symmachus), and he was likely the father of Quintus Aurelius Memmius Symmachus. He may also be the Symmachus to whom Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius dedicated the work De differentiis vel societatibus graeci latinique verbi.
