Felix Magnuts
a fellow-student and correspondent of Sidonius Apollinaris, and consequently lived between A. D. 430-480. Felix was of the family of the Philagrii (Sidon.
Propempt. ad Libell. 90,
Ep. 2.3), and was raised to the rank of patrician (
Ep. 2.3).
The letters of Sidonius to Felix are curiously illustrative of the distress and dismemberment of the Roman provinces north of the Alps in the fifth century, A. D.
A poem (
Carm. ix.) and five letters (2.3, 3.4, 7, 4.5, 10) are addressed by Sidonius to Felix.
