Anicius Auchenius [1] Bassus (fl. 408) was a politician of the Roman Empire. In 408 he was appointed consul. [2] According to B.L. Twyman, he represents the "mainline" of the gens Anicia. [3]
Bassus was probably the son of the Anicius Auchenius Bassus who was praefectus urbi in 382-383 and of Turrenia Honorata. He had a son, also called Anicius Auchenius Bassus, consul in 431. [4] He wrote the epigraph for the tomb of Monica, Augustine of Hippo's mother. [5] The actual stone on which it was written was rediscovered in 1945 in the church of Santa Aurea, in Ostia Antica. [6]
