Darius (praetorian prefect)
Darius (floruit 425-437) was a politician of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Life
Darius was a Praetorian prefect of the East. He is attested in office between August 28, 436, when the law preserved in Codex Theodosianus XI 1.37a was addressed to him, to March 16, 437, the day in which another law, preserved in Codex Theodosianus VI 23.4a, was addressed to him.
He might have been in office until October 437; in that case, he was in Constantinople and received a copy of the not-yet published Codex Theodosianus.
Darius is to be identified with the Praetorian prefect "Damarius", whose wife Aeliana had a vision in 425, in Constantinople.
Sources
Darius (horse)
Darius (foaled 1951) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, best known for winning the classic 2000 Guineas in 1954. In a racing career which lasted from the spring of 1953 until November 1955 he ran twenty-one times, won nine races and was placed on ten occasions. He was one of the best British two-year-olds of his generation, winning four races including the July Stakes and the Champagne Stakes. In the following year he won the 2000 Guineas and the St. James's Palace Stakes, finished second in the Eclipse Stakes and third in both the Epsom Derby and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He won three more races as a four-year-old including the Eclipse Stakes. After a disappointing run in the Washington, D.C. International Stakes he was retired to stud where he had considerable success as a sire of winners.
Background
Darius was a "good-looking" bay horse with one white foot, standing 16 hands high, bred by his owner Sir Percy Loraine. He was sired by the 1945 Derby winner Dante, from the same crop of foals which also produced the Epsom Oaks winner Carrozza. Darius was the best of nine winners produced by the broodmare Yasna. The colt was sent into training with the former champion jockey Harry Wragg at his Abington Place stable at Newmarket, Suffolk.
