Anicius Petronius Probus[1] (fl. 395–406 AD) was a politician of the Western Roman Empire.

Biography

A member of the gens Anicia, he was the son of Sextus Claudius Petronius Probus[2] (consul in 371) and of Anicia Faltonia Proba;[3] his elder brothers were Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius and Anicius Probinus (consuls in 395), and his sister was Anicia Proba.[2][3][4]

In 395, he is attested as quaestor elected by the Emperor.[2][3] In 406, Anicius was consul contemporaneously with the Eastern Emperor Arcadius.[4][5][6] One of his consular diptychs is preserved at the Museo del tesoro della cattedrale di Aosta, and depicts Emperor Honorius.

Probus was a Christian.[5]
