Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (c. 485 – c. 585),[3][4] commonly known as Cassiodorus (/ˌkæsioʊˈdɔːrəs/), was a Christian, Roman statesman, renowned scholar of antiquity, and writer serving in the administration of Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths. Senator was part of his surname, not his rank. He also founded a monastery, Vivarium (or "Castellum"), where he worked extensively the last three decades of his life.[5]
