Darius (praetorian prefect)

Darius (floruit 425–437) was a politician of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Darius was a Praetorian prefect of the East. He is attested in office between 28 August 436, when the law preserved in Codex Theodosianus XI 1.37^a was addressed to him, to 16 March 437, the day in which another law, preserved in Codex Theodosianus VI 23.4^a, was addressed to him.

He might have been in office until October 437; in that case, he was in Constantinople and received a copy of the not-yet published Codex Theodosianus.

Darius is to be identified with the Praetorian prefect "Damarius", whose wife Aeliana had a vision in 425, in Constantinople.

gollark: Well, do you know if they're available at sane prices in the UK?

gollark: Hmm.
