Flavius Mallius Theodorus exemplified the career trajectory of lawyers in the late Roman Empire, rising from advocate to consul. As a learned and respectable magistrate, he served as colleague to Eutropius and represented the different administrative approaches of successive regimes. His civil honors and philosophical works were celebrated by the poet Claudian.
