Ardabur (consul 427)

A detail of the Missorium of Aspar. Over Aspar and his son Ardabur, there are two imagines clipeatae depicting Ardabur the Elder (left) and Plinta.

Ardabur (Greek: Ἀρδαβούρ) served as magister militum in the East Roman army in the 420s, under Theodosius II.[1] He was of Alanic origin.[2]

During the Roman-Persian War of 421–422, he ravaged Arzanene and besieged Nisibis.[1] After the war ended, Ardabur was promoted to the rank of magister militum praesentalis.[1]

In 424, Ardabur and his son Aspar were sent on a campaign to Italy to overthrow the usurper Joannes.[1][3] Ardabur was captured but his son managed to save him.[1]

After his return to Constantinople, he was made consul for the year 427.[1]

Ardabur should be distinguished from his grandson of the same name, who was consul twenty years later.[1][3]
