Nannienus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nannienus (also Nannenus,[1] or Naniemus,[2] Nanninus[3]), (c. 350 AD), was a late Roman military commander in the Western Roman Empire.
In 370, as Comes rei militaris under the Emperor Valentinian I he fought the Saxons.[3][4] In 378, under the Emperor Gratian, together with the comes domesticorum Mallobaudes, he defeated the Lentienses, a group of Alamanni, at the Battle of Argentovaria.[5] It is suggested that at this time he may have been comes utriusque Germaniae, since he was of the same rank as Mallobaudes.[3] It is also conjectured that he was the magister militum Nanninus who served the Emperor Magnus Maximus, defeated the Franks, and served as guardian of Magnus' son Flavius Victor.[3][6]
