Tiberianus (poet)

Tiberianus (fl. c. late 3rd or early 4th century AD) was a late Latin writer and poet, surviving only in fragments, who experimented with various metrical schemes, and is a possible candidate for the authorship of the Pervigilium Veneris. Tiberianus has traditionally been identified with Annius Tiberianus, the "eloquent" (disertus) governor of Gaul in 336 AD mentioned by Jerome. An earlier candidate is however the prefect of Rome 303–4, Iunius Tiberianus.
