Apollonius (fl. 443–451) was a general of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Apollonius was a Pagan and well-educated.[1] Before 448 he converted to Christianity.[2] He received two letters by Theodoret.[1][2]
He was magister militum praesentalis in the East at least since 443[3] and until 451, when he was sent to Attila as ambassador; in that occasion the King of the Huns sent Apollonius back as he had not brought the tribute Attila had been expecting.[4]
Apollonius might be the Flavius Apollonius who was consul in 460.
