Arrianus (jurist)
Arrianus was a Roman jurisconsult of uncertain date. He probably lived under Trajan, and, according to the conjecture of Grotius, is perhaps the same person as the orator Arrianus, who corresponded with Pliny the Younger. He may also possibly be identical with the Arrianus Severus, '' praefectus aerarii'', whose opinion concerning a constitution ''Divi Trajani'' is cited by Aburnus Valens.
