Bathanarius (died 408) was a politician of the Western Roman Empire, comes Africae and brother-in-law of Stilicho.
LifeEdit
Bathanarius married a sister of the powerful general Stilicho.[1] He is attested as comes Africae since 401. In 408, when Stilicho was put to death by order of Emperor Honorius, Bathanarius was executed by imperial order and succeeded by Heraclianus.[1]
Augustine of Hippo retells a story he had been told by bishop Severus of Milev, who had seen Bathanarius doing a trick with a magnet during a party.[2]
