Iamblichus of Trier explained

Iamblichus of Trier also known as Jamblichus or Jamblychus was a 5th-century bishop of Trier from 475/76.

Background

He is attested in an inscription found in Chalon-sur-Saône. There seems to be no doubt about his historicity,^[1] although records from his time are scant due to the transition from the Roman Empire to Frankish rule.^[2]
