Английская Википедия:Domitius Zenofilus
Шаблон:Short description Domitius Zenofilus (or Zenophilus;[1] Шаблон:Floruit 320–333 AD) was a Roman senator who had an illustrious political career under the Emperor Constantine. He governed many provinces and held the consulate in 333.
Life and career
Zenofilus held the rank of Шаблон:Lang, and thus was probably born into an aristocratic and senatorial family, but the commonness of his hereditary nomen, "Domitius", makes it difficult to ascertain his lineage.Шаблон:Sfnm Chastagnol posited a Sicilian or eastern origin based on his Greek surname.Шаблон:Sfn A Numidian inscription (Шаблон:AE) recording a dedication by him to Aesculapius and Hygia indicates that he was probably a pagan.Шаблон:Sfnm
He is first known to have been governor (Шаблон:Lang) of Sicily, and then of an unknown other province.Шаблон:Sfn Later, on 13 December 320, he is attested as consular governor of Numidia (Шаблон:Lang) in north Africa,[2] when he presided over the condemnation of Silvanus, the Donatist bishop of Cirta, as a traditor.Шаблон:Sfn Zenophilus then appears to have served as proconsular governor of Achaia, no later than 323–324,Шаблон:Sfn and in this capacity may have been involved in the Emperor Constantine's preparations of war against his rival Licinius.Шаблон:Sfnm He was afterward proconsul of Asia, probably from 325 to 327, and finally proconsul of Africa, from 328 to 332.Шаблон:Sfn Constantine appointed Zenofilus as one of the two consuls for 333, with Delmatius, the Emperor's half-brother, as his colleague. Novak concluded that Zenofilus's career demonstrates "he was clearly one of the Constantinian government's most ubiquitous servants and supporters".Шаблон:Sfn
An inscription on a seat in the Colosseum, from the time of Odoacer, names one (...)enofilus, Шаблон:Lang. If the correct name is Zenofilus, then the individual could have been a descendant of the consul, though Martindale also notes the restoration 'Menofilus' is possible.Шаблон:Sfn
