Magister militum
Anthemius' matrimonial policy also included the marriage of his only daughter, Alypia, and the powerful "Magister militum" Ricimer. The poet Sidonius Apollinaris arrived in Rome on the occasion of the wedding at the end of 467 and described the celebrations in which all social classes were involved; he also hints that Alypia might have not liked her husband, a barbarian.
