Lampridius, 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 Spartian.

Vol. XI. Part II.

Lampridius, Benedict, of Cremona, a celebrated Latin poet of the 16th century. He taught Greek and Latin at Rome and at Padua, until he was invited to Mantua by Frederick Gonzaga to undertake the tuition of his son. We have epigrams and lyric verses of this writer, both in Greek and Latin, which were printed separately, as well as among the Deliciæ of the Italian poets.
