Flavius Astyrius or Asturius[1] (floruit 441-449) was a general and a politician of the Western Roman Empire.

Biography

Astyrius 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]
