He  married Papianilla, daughter of the Emperor Avitus in whose honor he  recited at Rome on 1 January 456 a panegyric in verse. Sidonius later  joined a rebellion, it seems, but was finally reconciled to the emperor  Majorian and delivered at Lyon in 458 a panegyric on him. After some  years in his native land, in 467 he led a Gallo-Roman deputation to the  Emperor Anthemius, and on 1 January 468 recited at Rome his third  panegyric. He returned to Gaul in 469 and became Bishop of Auvergne with  seat at Clermont-Ferrand. He upheld his people in resisting the  Visigoths. After Auvergne was ceded to them in 475, he was imprisoned  but soon resumed his bishopric. He was canonized after his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Loeb Classical Library edition of Sidonius is in two volumes. The  first contains his poetry: the three long panegyrics, and poems  addressed to or concerned with friends, apparently written in his youth.  Volume I also contains Books 1–2 of his \u003ci\u003eLetters\u003c\/i\u003e (all dating  from before his episcopate); Books 3–9 are in Volume II. Sidonius’  writings shed valued light on Roman culture in the fifth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eWilliam Blair Anderson (1877–1959) was Kennedy Professor of Latin at the University of Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46554465697953,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780674994621","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780674994621.jpg?v=1781769639","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/letters-hardcover-by-sidonius","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
