Rufinus Of Assisi
According to legend, Rufinus of Assisi (Italian ''Rufino''), was the first bishop of this city and a martyr. Sources concerning the life of Saint Rufino are a sermon of eleventh century Peter Damian, (''Miracula Sancti Rufini Martyris''), and a ''Passio Sancti Rufini'' of the 14th century. The Acts of the martyrdom of this Rufinus are purely legendary. He is probably identical with the "episcopus Marsorum" (bishop of the Marsi) noted in the Roman Martyrology under 11 August.Kirsch, Johann Peter. "Sts. Rufinus." The Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 13.

Valerius And Rufinus
Valerius and Rufinus (died 287 AD) are venerated as Christian saints and martyrs. Their legend states that they were imperial tax collectors in Soissons who were pious Christians. They were ordered to be arrested by Rictius Varus, the ''praefectus-praetorii'' in Gaul. The two saints hid themselves (tradition holds in a cave in a forest near Soissons) but were eventually caught, and then tortured and beheaded on the high road leading to Soissons. Rufinus is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn St. Peter's Square.

Rufinus (Roman Governor)
... Rufinus is the fragment of the name of a governor of Britannia Superior, a province of Roman Britain probably some time during the early third century AD. He may have been the same man as Aulus Triarius Rufinus who was suffect consul around 210, although Quintus Aradius Rufinus who was consul ten or fifteen years later is another possibility. The name Rufinus is recorded only on an inscription found at the ancient Roman fort of Regulbium in Kent, in a context with pottery that could be loosely dated to c. 220 AD. This same name is also identified at the Roman Fort at Aballava in reference to the Aurelian Moors The term Moor, derived from the ancient Mauri, is an exonym first used by Christian Europeans to designate the Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily and Malta during the Middle Ages.

Rufinus (consul)
Flavius Rufinus ( el, Φλάβιος Ῥουφῖνος; – 27 November 395) was a 4th-century East Roman statesman of Aquitanian extraction who served as Praetorian prefect of the East for the emperor Theodosius I, as well as for his son Arcadius, under whom Rufinus exercised significant influence in the state affairs. He was the subject of the verse invective ''In Rufinum'' by the western court poet Claudian. Life Tall and always in movement, he is described as acute, ambitious, greedy and without principles, but a rigorous Christian. His difficulty with the Greek language is recorded by the sources, as well as his Aquitanian origin. In 388 he was appointed ''magister officiorum''. In 392 he served as Roman consul and in that same year he was appointed as Praetorian prefect of the East. Upon his appointment, he retained the responsibilities of the ''magister officiorum''. In order to become prefect, Rufinus is said to have persuaded the emperor that Eutolmius Tatianus, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tyrannius Rufinus
Tyrannius Rufinus, also called Rufinus of Aquileia (''Rufinus Aquileiensis'') or Rufinus of Concordia (344/345–411), anglicized as Tyrann Rufine, was a monk, historian, and theologian. He is best known as a translator of Greek patristic material, especially the work of Origen, into Latin. Life Rufinus was born in 344 or 345 in the Roman city of Julia Concordia (now Concordia Sagittaria), near Aquileia (in modern-day Italy) at the head of the Adriatic Sea. It appears that both of his parents were Christians. Around 370, he was living in a monastic community in Aquileia when he met Jerome. In about 372, Rufinus followed Jerome to the eastern Mediterranean, where he studied in Alexandria under Didymus the Blind for some time, and became friends with Macarius the elder and other ascetics in the desert. In Egypt, if not even before leaving Italy, he had become intimately acquainted with Melania the Elder, a wealthy and devout Roman widow. When she moved to Palestine, taking with he ...

Rufinus (relative Of Theodosius II)
Rufinus (''floruit'' 431–432) was a praetorian prefect of the East, one of the most important officials of the Eastern Roman Empire. Life Rufinus was a relative of Emperor Theodosius II (r. 402–450). He is attested in office between March 431 and March 432 by two letters of Isidore of Pelusium. One of these letters (letter 178) contained a reproach towards the prefect for ignoring the wrongdoings of the governor of Cyrenius. This Rufinus might be the successor of Antiochus Chuzon Antiochus Chuzon (''floruit'' 429–438), called "the Elder" to distinguish him from his nephew, was a high official of the Eastern Roman Empire, praetorian prefect of the East and consul, who was a key figure in the compilation of the ''Codex Theo ... in this office.

Rufinus (poet)
Rufinus ( grc-gre, Ῥουφῖνος; fl. ) was a Greek epigrammatist. Some thirty-eight epigrams are attributed to Rufinus in the fifth book of the Greek Anthology, and another epigram, which is ascribed to an otherwise unknown ''Rufinus Domesticus'' in the '' Anthology of Planudes,'' may also be by him. His verses are of the same light amatory character as those of Agathias, Paulus Silentiarius, Macedonius, and others. When Rufinus lived is unknown. He probably postdated the ''Garland'' of Philip of Thessalonica, produced under Nero. Alan Cameron estimates that his poems must have existed by the 390s at the latest as he believes he was copied by Ausonius and Claudian. Cameron dates Rufinus to before Strato, which would mean that he was active before 250. Denys Page, conversely, places Strato before Rufinus and is in favour of a fourth century date for the latter. Page is more cautious about the idea that Ausonius and Claudian borrowed from Rufinus. In his dating, he has t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
