Flavius Sanctus was a governor of the province of Rutupine (now Richborough Castle),[1][2]ofRoman Britain during the mid fourth century AD. Part of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy, he may have descended from a Sanctus, member of the Gallic Empire.[3][4]
It was also believed he may have been a commander at Regulbium and Richborough Castle but he may have simply lived there.[5] Roman emperor Constans appointed a Roman emperor whose name is unknown and was eventually replaced by Sanctus.[citation needed] Sanctus married Namia Pudentilla, a sister of Ausonius's wife's and Sanctus was praised in one of Ausonius's poems.[6][7]
Aside from being a Christian,[8] not many details about him are known.
