EspañolFLAVIUS GAUDENTIUS
:''For other people named Gaudentius see Gaudentius''
'Flavius Gaudentius' or simply 'Gaudentius' (unknown - 432) was the father of the Roman magister militum Flavius Aetius. It is said that he was of Scythian birth; this may have meant that his ancestors were of Germanic descent or that he was of other Barbarian blood. In the Getica, it is claimed that Gaudentius was of Gothic background. He served under the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius the Great against the usurper Eugenius. Later, when his son Flavius Aetius was born in 396, Gaudentius served as Magister Equitum or Master of Cavalry under the Emperor Honorius. According to The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Gaudentius was still serving the Western Empire in the 420s as Magister militum of the Western Empire. He served under the usurper Ioannes. However, when Ioannes was killed 425, he was forced to serve Galla Placidia and her son Emperor Valentinian III. Gaudentius served as Magister militum from 421 to his death in 432.
