Marcus Cocceius Anicius Faustus Flavianus Explained

Marcus Cocceius Anicius Faustus Flavianus (fl. 3rd century AD) was a Roman senator who was appointed suffect consul sometime around AD 250/252.

Probably either the son or nephew of Anicius Faustus Paulinus, suffect consul before AD 230, Faustus Flavianus was a member of the Patrician 3rd century gens Anicia.[1] Faustus Flavianus was appointed Curator rei publicae Cirtae (or curator of the city of Cirta) in AD 251. It is believed that sometime around this time, c. AD 250/252, he was appointed suffect consul.[2]

It is speculated that Faustus Flavianus was the brother of Sextus Cocceius Anicius Faustus Paulinus, suffect consul prior to AD 268.
