Siburius
Siburius (''fl.'' 370s), for whom only the single name survives, was a high-ranking official of the Roman Empire. He was one of several Gauls who rose to political prominence in the late 4th century as a result of the emperor Gratian's appointment of his Bordelaise tutor Ausonius to high office.〔Hagith Sivan, ''Ausonius of Bordeaux: Genesis of a Gallic Aristocracy'' (London: Routledge, 1993), p. 134, and p. 210, note 36.〕
==Life and career==
Like Ausonius, Siburius came from Bordeaux. The medical writer Marcellus, their countryman, places Siburius in the company of the historian Eutropius and Julius Ausonius, father of the political scholar-poet, as peers with a literary expertise in medicine.〔Marcellus Empiricus, ''De medicamentis,'' prefatory epistle 2, in ''Corpus Medicorum Latinorum: Marcelli de Medicamentis Liber'', edited by Maximillian Niedermann (Leipzig: Teubner 1916), p. 3.〕
In early 376, Siburius was ''magister officiorum'' under Gratian.〔Sivan, ''Ausonius of Bordeaux'', p. 134.〕 He succeeded Ausonius as ''praefectus praetorio Galliarum'' (praetorian prefect of Gaul) sometime before December 3, 379,〔''Codex Theodosianus'' XI.31.7; A.H.M. Jones, “Collegiate Prefectures,” ''Journal of Roman Studies'' 54 (1964), p. 84; Andrea Pellizzari, ''Commento storico al libro III dell'Epistolario di Q. Aurelio Simmaco'' (Pisa 1998), p. 156.〕 and held the office until 382, when he was succeeded by Mallius Theodorus.〔David Stone Potter, ''The Roman Empire at bay, AD 180-395'', Routledge, 2004, ISBN 0-415-10057-7, p. 545.〕
Other scanty evidence of Siburius's life comes from the correspondence of the Antiochan scholar Libanius, who has one letter addressed to him〔Libanius, epistle 663, pp. 99–100 in the edition of Richard Förster, ''Libanii Opera'' (Leipzig: Teubner, 1903–27), vol. 11.〕 and two to his son, who had the same name.〔Libanius, epistles 982 and 989, pp. 114–115 and 119–120 (Förster's edition).〕 Libanius also mentions Siburius once elsewhere.〔Libanius, epistle 973, pp. 107–108 (Förster).〕 The son was proconsul of Palaestina Prima around 390.〔Otto Seeck, ''Monumenta Germaniae Historica: Auctores Antiquissimi. Q. Aurelii Symmachi quae supersunt'' (Munich 1984), with reference to Libanius, Sievers edition p. 269 (= Förster 989, pp. 119–120).〕
