Flavius Avianus
- not to confuse with Festus Avienus
Flavius Avianus was a Poète Romain having probably lived at the end of the IV {{E}} and at the beginning of the Ve century of our era.
He would be the author of 42 elegiac fables in Towards, imitated Ésope. These fables being dedicated to Theodosius, it was thought that it was about Ambrosius Macrobius Theodosius (i.e. of Macrobe). Recent research tends to compare the fabulist Avianus to the character of Avienus present in the Saturnales of Macrobe: the small difference in name would originate in an error in the handwritten transmission of the Fables of Avianus, whose true name would be thus Avienus (lesson that certain manuscripts of the Fables propose). The identification sometimes suggested of Avianus with the unknown author of the play Querolus was generally not retained.
