Summary/Abstract: The paper shows how with the help of epigraphic sources (CIL VI, 1779, 1779a, 1778, 2145, 1777) it is possible to reconstruct individual events in the private and public life of Vettius Agorius Praetextatus (310/320 – 384), the prominent statesman, scientist, representative of the Pagan party in Rome of the Late Antiquity. This article also seeks to recreate his personal qualities, as well as to reveal the attitude towards him of his closest circle (both Pagan and Christian).
