Flavius Ardabur

Flavius Ardabur

Flavius Ardabur (or Ardaburius) served as magister militum in the Byzantine army in the 420s, under Theodosius II.

During the Roman-Persian War of 421, he invaded Arzanene and Mesopotamia, besieging Nisibis and defeating seven Persian generals.

Three years later, Ardabur and his son Aspar were sent on a campaign to Italy to overthrow the usurper Joannes. Ardabur was captured and held at Ravenna, where he succeeded in subverting some of the usurper's officers. Aspar was then able to capture the city and defeat Joannes.

After his return to Constantinople, he was made consul for the year 427.

Flavius Ardabur should be distinguished from his grandson of the same name, who was consul twenty years later.
