Blessed Severinus Boethius

Blessed Severinus Boethius, also known as Anicius Manlius Torquatus Severinus Boethius, was a renowned figure of his time, often regarded as the last of the Romans. He was born between 475 and 480 in Rome, Italy, into a prestigious consular family. Tragically, he became an orphan at a young age when his father, who had been chosen as consul in 487, passed away.
