About Decimus Rusticus

Decimus Rusticus (c370-before 423), was Praefectus Praetorio Galliarum (before 409-411 CE), and Magister Officiorum (408 CE). He succeeded his friend Apollinaris, the grandfather of Sidonius Apollinaris, as Prefect of Gaul at the time of the tyrant Constantinus. He was one of those responsible for the Roman withdrawal from Britannia. He was captured by the army commanders of Emperor Honorius and put to death.

From Wikipedia:

Decimus Rusticus (sometimes Rusticus Decimus) of Treves (then Augusta Treverorum) and Lyon (Lugdunum) (ca 370 – before 423) he was a Master of the Offices and the praetorian prefect of Gaul between 409 and 410 or 413. He was one of those responsible for the withdrawal from Britannia.

He married before 400 Artemia (b. ca 375), the daughter of Artemia of Clermont-Ferrand (then Augustonemetum) in Auvergne (Arvennia) (born say 355), and they were the parents of a son (b. ca 400), who was a Vicarius of a province in Gaul under the father of Sidonius Apollinaris between 423 and 448. He then married Tullia of Lyon (b. say 410), daughter of Eucherius of Lyon and wife Gallia(?), and they were the parents of Aquilinus (ca 430 – ca 470), a nobleman at Lyon, schoolfellow and friend of Sidonius Apollinaris and the father of St. Viventiolus and his brother St. Rusticus, Archbishop of Lyon.
