Petronius Probinus (consul 489)

Petronius Probinus was a Roman aristocrat during the reign of King Odoacer. He was the Western consul in 489 AD (with Flavius Eusebius as his Eastern colleague) and a prominent supporter of Antipope Laurentius.^[1] Probinus is believed to be the son of Rufius Achilius Maecius Placidus, consul in 481, and the father of Rufius Petronius Nicomachus Cethegus, consul in 504.^[2]
