Florentius (consul 429)

Florentius was a Roman aristocrat and politician who served as consul in 429 AD. Little is known about his life and career beyond his consulship. He shared the consulship with Flavius Dionysius. His appointment as consul indicates that he held a position of considerable power and influence within the Western Roman Empire during a period of increasing instability. The Western Roman Empire was facing significant challenges from internal political struggles and external pressures from various barbarian groups at this time. The Fasti consulares record him as holding the office, and this remains the primary source of information about him. Further details about his activities before, during, or after his consulship are scarce, hindering a more comprehensive understanding of his role in late Roman history.
