Sylvia of Aquitaine was a fourth century pilgrim from Aquitaine; a pilgrimage that probably took place sometime between 379 and 388 A.D.[1] She was the sister of Rufinus, the chief minister of the Byzantine Empire under Theodosius and Arcadius.
[2] Palladius' Lausiac History tells she journeyed in the age of 60, and prided in her ascetic habits.
[3] In the late 19th century she was thought the author of a detailed pilgrimage account, which is now attributed to Egeria.
She should not be confused with Saint Sylvia, the mother of Pope Gregory the Great.
