Titus Annianus
Titus Annianus was a poet of ancient Rome, who lived in the time of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian, and wrote erotic or light verse (''ludicra carmina''), possibly in the Faliscan language. Annianus was a friend of Aulus Gellius, who says of Titus that he was tremendously knowledgeable about ancient literature and the rules of language. He claimed to Aulus Gellius to have been a pupil of Marcus Valerius Probus. Among other things, he appears to have written (somewhat ribald) Fescennine Verses. Based on the information that Gellius provides, modern scholars consider this Annianus to be the author of a number of verses that the grammarian Terentianus Terentianus, surnamed Maurus (a native of Mauretania), was a Latin grammarian and writer on prosody who flourished probably at the end of the 2nd century AD.

Connection with Saint Mark As St. Mark was entering Rakotis, a suburb of Alexandria, after his trip from Cyrene to the Pentapolis, the strap of his sandal fell off.

Mark took the opportunity to slay the Gospel of Christianity to him, at the same time reportedly miraculously healing Anianus of his wound.

Annianus Of Alexandria
Annianus of Alexandria ( grc-gre, italic=yes, Annianos) was a monk who flourished in Alexandria during the bishopric of Theophilus of Alexandria around the beginning of the 5thcentury. He criticized the world history of his contemporary monk Panodorus of Alexandria for relying too much on secular sources rather than biblical sources for his dates. As a result, Annianus developed his own chronology which placed Creation on . This created the Alexandrian Era whose first day was the first day of the proleptic Alexandrian civil year in progress, . This year was eleven Paschal cycles of 532 years each before the Alexandrian year beginning , which itself was four 19-year cycles after the epoch of the Diocletian Era on . The former is known as the Era of Grace in the Coptic Church, whereas the latter is known as the Era of Martyrs. He was the first computist to recognize the 532-year cycle of Easters in the Julian calendar. This cycle is often attributed to Victorius of Aquitaine in 45 ...
