Anicius Faustus Albinus Basilius

Anicius Faustus Albinus Basilius (also Flavius ​​Basilius iunior ) was a patricius and the last Roman consul.

Basil was a Western Roman senator and was paternal to the old aristocratic family Decii, maternal to the Anicii. He probably was the son of Albinus, who had been consul in the year 493, and the grandson of the consul of 480, Decius Maximus Basilius Caecina. Basil was the last non- Kaiser, who served as an ordinary consul ( consul ordinarius ) in the year 541. 542 the Office de facto by Emperor Justinian I. was abolished: There are simply no new consuls appointed more. After Basil's consulate was still dated to 565 (post consulatum Basilii ), then to 641 after the respective Kaiser - to Heraclius took on the ruler at the beginning of her reign for a few days nominally the consulate.

According to his surviving diptych Basil was 541 comes domesticorum ( hence vir illustris ) and patricius. 546 Basil was in Rome. He fled with Bessas, a patrician and imperial army 's Master, from Rome, when the Ostrogoth king Totila again conquered the city, and went with the other Roman aristocrats to Constantinople Opel.
