Vibius Sequester

Vibius Sequester (4th or 5th century), is the author of an alphabetical list of geographical names occurring in the Roman poets, with special reference to Virgil, Ovid and Lucan. Several of the names do not appear in our copies of the poets; unless this is the result of carelessness or ignorance, the compiler must have had access to sources no longer extant.
