−	As a [[Roman name\|nomen]], ''Ambrosius'' is documented in the Late Empire. Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius (395-423) was a Roman grammarian and Neoplatonic philosopher who flourished during the reigns of [[Honorius]] and [[Arcadius]]. As usual for this period, his [[Roman name\|prænomen]] is not known. He tells us that that Latin was to him a foreign tongue, but no evidence about his origin survives. He is variously thought to have been a Greek or African. He might have been the Macrobius who was mentioned in the ''Codex Theodosianus'' as a praetorian prefect of Spain in 399-400, proconsul of Africa in 410, and lord chamberlain in 422. His ''Saturnalia'' is a dialogue in seven books, chiefly a literary evaluation of Vergil. He also wrote a commentary on Cicero's ''Dream of Scipio'', which was popular in the Middle Ages and influenced Chaucer. Macrobius was among the first to hold the idea of a spherical earth.	+	As a [[Roman name\|nomen]], ''Ambrosius'' is documented in the Late Empire.

According to Gildas, Aurelianus was "courageous, faithful, valiant and true; a man of Roman birth who had alone survived the conflict, his parents, who had worn the purple, having perished in the struggle; his descendants, greatly degenerated in these days from the excellence of their grandfather, still provoke their conquerors [the Saxons] to battle, and by the grace of God their prayers for victory are heard." [''De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae'', ''circa'' 540]. According to Bede, Aurelianus came to power in 479 [''Chronica Majora'', 725]. Fragments of his life were preserved in Nennius' ''Historia Britonum'', ''circa'' 833. In Geoffrey of Monmouth's pseudo-history, he is incorrectly referred to as Aurelius Ambrosius and said to have been a son of Constantine III [''Historia Regum Britanniae'', ''circa'' 1136]. Aurelianus' history became entangled with, and obscured by, the legend of King Arthur.
