Eumenius
Eumenius (born c. 260 at the latest, more probably between 230 and 240 AD), was one of the Roman panegyrists and author of a speech transmitted in the collection of the Panegyrici Latini (Pan. Lat. IX〔In manuscript order. In chronological order, his speech is counted as either 4 or 5.〕).
==Life==
Eumenius was born in Gallia Lugdunensis at Augustodunum (Autun), the ''civitas'' capital of the Celtic Aedui.〔Greg Woolf, ''Becoming Roman: The Origins of Provincial Civilization in Gaul'' (Cambridge University Press, 1998, 2003), p. 1.〕 He was of Greek descent; his grandfather, who had migrated from Athens to Rome, finally settled at Autun as a teacher of rhetoric. Eumenius probably took his place, for it was from Autun that he went to be ''magister memoriae'' (private secretary) to Constantius Chlorus, whom he accompanied on several of his campaigns.
In 296 Chlorus determined to restore the famous schools (''scholae Maenianae'') of Autun. During the turmoil in 3rd century Gaul, instruction had ceased, maybe due to lack of funding or students, and the buildings had been greatly damaged during a siege of the city in 269. The emperor appointed Eumenius to the management of the schools, allowing him to keep the rank of a senior imperial officer and doubling his salary.
Eumenius was a pagan and had not converted to Christianity, unlike Ausonius and Sidonius Apollinaris and other fourth and fifth-century writers from Gaul.
