NAZARIUS (4th See also:century A.D.) , Latin rhetorician and panegyrist, was, according to See also:Ausonius, a See also:professor of See also:rhetoric at Burdigala (See also:Bordeaux). The extant speech of which he is undoubtedly the author (in E. Bahrens, Panegyrici See also:Latini, No. 1o) was delivered in 321 to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the See also:accession of See also:Constantine the See also:Great, and the fifth of his son Constantine's See also:admission to the See also:rank of See also:Caesar. The preceding speech (No. 9), celebrating the victory of Constantine over See also:Maxentius, delivered in 313 at See also:Augusta Trevirorum (See also:Trier), has often been attributed to Nazarius, but the difference in See also:style and vocabulary, and the more distinctly See also:Christian colouring of Nazarius's speech, are against this. See M. Schanz, Geschichte der romischen Litteratur, iii. (1896) ; See also:Teuffel-See also:Schwabe, Hist. of See also:Roman Literature (Eng. trans., 1900), 401. 6.
