Ecdicius
Ecdicius Avitus (c. 420 – after 475) was a Gallo-Roman aristocrat, senator, and "magister militum praesentalis" from 474 until 475.
As a son of the Emperor Avitus, Ecdicius was educated at "Augustonemetum" (modern Clermont-Ferrand), where he lived and owned some land. In the 460s he was one of the richest and most important persons in the western Empire and he was present at the court of Anthemius until 469.
Ecdicius and his brother-in-law
Vouillé in 507, concerning the sons of one Ecdicius who wanted to return to Gaul where they had property; in a 1984 article Matthisen argued for the identification, pointing out that "not only is the Arvernian Ecdicius known to have been in Rome earlier, but Ecdicius also is a rare name."
