Mamertīnus
Claudius. A Latin panegyrist, the author of a
speech addressed to the emperor Iulian on January 1, A.D. 362, at Constantinople, thanking him
for conferring the consulate on him. It gives a pretty accurate picture of the personality of
the emperor and of his administration. An older Mamertinus is assumed to be the author of two
panegyrics in praise of Maximianus, co-regent with Diocletian, which were delivered in A.D.
289 and 291 at Trèves. See
Panegyricus.
