Nannienus
Nannienus was a Roman general in Gaul in the later fourth century. As count he fought Saxon raiders in 370, and in 378 he shared command with the Frankish king Mallobaudes in the emperor Gratian's victory over the Alemannic Lentienses at Argentovaria in Alsace, where the invaders' king Priarius was killed. He is known chiefly from Ammianus Marcellinus.
