Flavius Astyrius or Asturius[1] (floruit 441-449) was a general and a politician of the Western Roman Empire. BiographyAstyrius was the father-in-law of Merobaudes and belonged to an aristocratic family.[2] He followed a military career: between 441 and 443 he is attested as dux or magister utriusque militiae. In 441 he was in Tarraconensis (Spain), where he defeated the Bagaudae.[3] In 443 he was succeeded by his son-in-law Merobaudes.[4] He was appointed consul for the year 449. At the beginning of his office he was in Gaul (probably in the capital city of the praetorian prefecture, Arelate), and Nicetius delivered a panegyric in his honour.[5] A consular diptych produced by Astyrius in 449 is preserved at Liège. The diptych shows Astyrius seated on a curule chair wearing complete consular regalia and the inscription Flavius Asturius vir clarissimus[6] and inlustris[7] comes[8] ex magistro ustriusque militiae consul ordinarius.[9] Notes1. ^As spelled on his consular diptych ({{CIL|13|10032.2}}). 2. ^As shown by the vir clarissimus rank. 3. ^Hydatius, 125 (sub anno 441). 4. ^Hydatius, 128 (sub anno 443). 5. ^Sidonius Apollinaris, Epistulae III.6.5. 6. ^The vir clarissimus rank was bestowed to aristocracy members since their birth. 7. ^The vir inlustris rank was awarded by the Emperor to a few high officers, among whom the magister utriusque militiae. 8. ^The rank of comes was probably conferred to Astyrius at the end of his office as magister utriusque militiae. 9. ^Mathisen.
