Valerius Maximus Basilius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Valerius Maximus Basilius (c. 330 – aft. 364) was a Proconsul of Achaea and a Praefectus Urbi Romae between 361 and 363.

He was the son of Lucius Valerius Maximus Basilius and second wife Vulcacia. He married Saint Melania the Elder or Maior, one of the wealthiest citizens of the empire, born in Hispania, when she was fourteen, and they lived in the suburbs of Rome. When his wife was twenty-two, he and two of their three sons died of disease; Melania moved to Rome with their remaining son, and she became a Christian.

Valerius Maximus Basilius's surviving son, Valerius Publicola (or Poplicola), married Caeionia Albina, born ca. 368 to Caeionius Rufius Albinus. Their daughter became Saint Melania the Younger or Minor.^{[citation needed]}
