Bonifacius

Comes Bonifacius (anglicized as Count Boniface) (d. 432) was a Roman general and governor of the Diocese of Africa. He campaigned against the Visigoths in Roman Gaul and the Vandals in Roman North Africa. An ally of Galla Placidia (regent of Valentinian III), Bonifacius engaged in Roman civil wars on her behalf against the generals Flavius Felix in 427-429 and Flavius Aetius in 432. Although he defeated the latter at the Battle of Rimini, Bonifacius suffered a fatal wound and was succeeded by his son-in-law Sebastianus as patricius of the Western Roman Empire.

Bonifacuis first appears as a general of Constantius III in 413, where he defeated the Visigoths of Athaulf at Massilia; he allegedly threw a weapon and wounded the Gothic king himself. Boniface would prove himself an ally of Galla Placidia and her son Valentinian III in the years after Constantius III's death in 421, as he was by then Comes Africae. After the death of Emperor Honorius in 423, the primicerius notariorum Joannes was elevated to the throne by Castinus, to which Bonifacius responded by cutting off the Grain supply from his power based in North Africa. After a revolt in Gaul and a military campaign under the eastern general Aspar sent by Theodosius II, Joannes was overthrown, and Valentinian III, nephew of Honorius, was made Western emperor by the Magister Officiorum Helion. Bonifacius supported him, and resumed the grain shipments to Rome.
