Macrobius
Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius, commonly referred to as Macrobius, was a Roman who flourished during the early fifth century. He is primarily known for his writings, which include the ''Saturnalia'', a compendium of ancient Roman religious and antiquarian lore, the ''Commentarii in Somnium Scipionis'' ("Commentary on the Dream of Scipio"), which was an important source for Platonism in the Latin West during the Middle Ages, and ''De differentiis et societatibus graeci latinique verbi'' ("On the Differences and Similarities of the Greek and Latin Verb") which is now lost.
==Name==
The correct order of his names is "Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius", which is how it appears in the earliest manuscripts of the ''Saturnalia'', and how he is addressed in the excerpts from his lost ''De differentiis''. Only in later manuscripts were his names reversed as "Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius", which James Willis then adopted for his edition of the ''Commentary''. Alan Cameron notes that Cassiodorus and Boethius both refer to him as "Macrobius Theodosius", while he was known during his lifetime as "Theodosius": the dedication to the ''De differentiis'' is addressed ''Theodosius Symmacho suo'' ("Theodosius to his Symmachus"), and by the dedicatory epistle to Avianus's ''Fables'', where he is addressed as ''Theodosi optime''.〔See Cameron, ("The Date and Identity of Macrobius", ''Journal of Roman Studies'' ), 56 (1966), p. 27 and notes.〕
