Flavius Symmachus (fl. 522–526) was a Roman politician during the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy.
He was the son of the philosopher Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius[1] and of Rusticiana (his aunts were Galla and Proba), and the brother of Boethius. Symmachus shared the consulate with Boethius,[2] a position chosen by the Ostrogothic court.
His father fell into disgrace with the Ostrogothic ruler, resulting in the confiscation of his property. Following the death of King Theodoric the Great in 526, these properties were returned to Boethius and Symmachus.[3]
