Flavius Anicius Auchenius Bassus (fl. 425–435) was a high official of the Western Roman Empire. He was appointed as consul by the Western court with Antiochus Chuzon as a colleague. In 435, he held the office of praetorian prefect of Italy for the second time.
Biography
Bassus belonged to the noble gens Anicia; his father was the Anicius Auchenius Bassus who was consul in 408.
In 425, he held the rank of comes rerum privatarum at the Western court; the following year was praetorian prefect, perhaps of Italy.
He made accusations against Pope Sixtus III; when Emperor Valentinian III learned of these accusations, he ordered a synod to be convoked, at which the accusations were investigated, and the Pope cleared by 56 bishops.
