During those same days, attention was paid to Florentius also, who had left Gaul through fear of a change of government, and he was sent to take the place of Anatolius, praetorian prefect in Illyricum, who had recently died; and with Taurus, who was likewise praetorian prefect in Italy, he received the insignia of the highest magistracy.The consulship, in 361, called amplissimus magistrates also in xxvi. 9, 1; see Introd., pp. xxx ff.
