Thaumastus

Thaumastus

:"Thaumastus was the name of an early bishop of Mainz. See also Theonistus."

Thaumastus I (also called Thaumaste I) (born c. 400) [Christian Settipani, Continuite Gentilice et Continuite Familiale Dans Les Familles Senatoriales Romaines A L'epoque Imperiale, Mythe et Realite, Addenda I - III (juillet 2000- octobre 2002) (n.p.: Prosopographica et Genealogica, 2002)] was a friend and uncle of Sidonius Apollinaris. His brother, the elder Apollinaris was born around 405 [Christian Settipani, Les Ancêtres de Charlemagne (France: Éditions Christian, 1989)] and was the Prefect of Gaul under Valentinian III between 425 and 455. [Christian Settipani, Continuite Gentilice et Continuite Familiale Dans Les Familles Senatoriales Romaines A L'epoque Imperiale, Mythe et Realite, Addenda I - III (juillet 2000- octobre 2002) (n.p.: Prosopographica et Genealogica, 2002)] Thaumastus and his brother were both sons of another Apollinaris, Praetorian Prefect of Gaul before 409 [Christian Settipani, Continuite Gentilice et Continuite Familiale Dans Les Familles Senatoriales Romaines A L'epoque Imperiale, Mythe et Realite, Addenda I - III (juillet 2000- octobre 2002) (n.p.: Prosopographica et Genealogica, 2002)] and were friends with his successor Decimus Rusticus. Thaumastus was associated with Tonantius Ferreolus in the impeachment of Arvandus [Sidonius Apollinaris, The Letters of Sidonius (Oxford: Clarendon, 1915), pp. clx-clxxxiii] . He was the father of Eulalia, born in 425 [Christian Settipani, Les Ancêtres de Charlemagne (France: Éditions Christian, 1989)] and married before 450 to Flavius Probus, Roman Senator.

He seems to be a descendant of another Apollinaris, Prefect of Gaul under Constantine II between 337 and 340. [Christian Settipani, Continuite Gentilice et Continuite Familiale Dans Les Familles Senatoriales Romaines A L'epoque Imperiale, Mythe et Realite, Addenda I - III (juillet 2000- octobre 2002) (n.p.: Prosopographica et Genealogica, 2002)]
