Ardabur (consul 447)

Ardabur (Ἀρδαβούρ, died 471) was an Eastern Roman magister militum of Alanic descent.

[1] He served as consul in 447 and as magister militum per Orientem from 453 until 465 or 466.

[2] He was removed from this post in 466 after being accused of a treasonous plot involving the Sasanian Empire, probably by his father's political enemies.

Both Ardabur and Aspar were killed in 471 as part of a conspiracy between the Isaurians and the emperor Leo I.
