Probus (consul 525)

Anicius Probus^[1] (fl. 525) was a Roman senator living in the Ostrogothic Kingdom who served as the consul of the year 525. He is called "Junior" or "Iunior" in some sources, probably for confusion with Olybrius, a child who served as consul in 491.

He married Proba, daughter of Olybrius and wife Irene, a niece of Eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius I. With her he had a daughter, Juliana, who married Anastasius, son of Anastasius Paulus Probus Sabinianus Pompeius Anastasius, consul in 517, by his marriage to Empress Theodora's illegitimate daughter, whose name has not survived.
