Avi'tus, Ju'lius

the husband of Julia Maesa, brother-in-law of Julia Domna and Septimius Severus, uncle by marriage of Caracalla, father of Julia Soemias and Julia Mamaea, and maternal grandfather of Elagabalus and Alexander Severus. He was of consular rank, and, as we gather from the fragments of Dio Cassius, governed in succession Asia, Mesopotamia, and Cyprus. From him Elagabalus inherited the name of Avitus--an appellation by which ancient historians frequently distinguish that emperor. (D. C. 88.30, 79.16; Herodian, 5.3.2; see also the genealogical table under CARACALLA.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
