Volusius Venustus (floruit 4th century) was an aristocrat of the Roman Empire.
Volusius Venustus set up a monument in the forum of Canosa in honour[1] of Constantine I and his two sons (the fact that only two sons are honoured means that the monument was set up between 317 and 333, less the period between 324 and 326).
This monument is a clue that he was from this city in southern Italia; it also marks his office, the one of corrector Apuliae et Calabriae (governor of the region corresponding to the present-day Apulia).
In 370, together with Vettius Agorius Praetextatus and Minervius, he comprised a senatorial legation to the Emperor Valentinian I, asking him not to torture those senators involved in trials.
[3] According to a long-standing reconstruction by Otto Seeck, the two previous officers were the same person, who is to be identified with Venustus, the father of Virius Nicomachus Flavianus and grandfather of Nicomachus Flavianus the younger, and maybe another nephew called Venustus.
