LAMPRIIDIUS, ÆLIUS, a Latin historian, who lived under the emperors Diocletian and Constantine the Great. Of his writing there are extant the lives of four emperors, Antoninus, Commodus, Diadumenus, and Heliogabalus. Some attribute the life of Alexander Severus to him; but the MS. in the Palatine library ascribes it to Spartan.
