A detail of the consular diptych of Sividius
Biography
He is defined as "quaestor" (perhaps quaestor sacri palatii) in the inscription on his seat at the Colosseum.[2] His consular diptych, which records his further career, has been preserved.[3] After his term as quaestor, Sividius was appointed praefectus urbi of Rome and then patricius. In 488 he was consul posterior with Claudius Iulius Ecclesius Dynamius, both appointed by the court of Odoacer, and praefectus urbi for the second time.
