Flavius Senator (floruit 436 - 449) was a politician of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Senator was appointed consul posterior in the year 436 AD, with Anthemius Isidorus as consul prior.[1] According to Priscus, he was sent by Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II as an envoy to the King of the Huns, Attila in 442/443. In 449, Attila stated that he would accept as envoy only Senator, Anatolius and Nomus, all of consular rank.[2]
He received the title patricius before 445–447. He was a recipient of Theodoret's letter requesting tax reduction on his city in 445–447.[3] In 451, he was present during some sessions of the Council of Chalcedon, which is his last action to be reliably recorded in the sources.[4]
He founded Church of Archangel Michael in Constantinople, which may have been small in scale. The building was torn down in the 6th century for Justinian I to rebuild it.[5]
