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.

gollark: - nice, nonbrackety haskell syntax- functional-programming-oriented- strongly typed- pragmatic and not horribly complicated - yes, selective applicative functors or whatever new haskell thing is now being worked on may be elegant, but learning every needlessly fancy thing just takes away from *actually writing useful stuff*- good tooling (see: Rust; run screaming from: Go, C(++))- web platform, ideally (yes, it has Problems™, but there's something to be said for ability to just navigate to a webpage and run your stuff- good libraries/community
