Glycerius
Glycerius () was Roman emperor of the West from 473 to 474. He served as ''comes domesticorum'' (commander of the palace guard) during the reign of Olybrius, until Olybrius died in November 472. After a four-month interregnum, Glycerius was proclaimed Western Emperor in March 473 by the ''magister militum'' (master of soldiers) and power behind the throne Gundobad. Very few of the events of his reign are known other than that during his reign an attempted invasion of Italy by the Visigoths was repelled, diverting them to Gaul.

Glycerius (bishop Of Milan)
Glycerius ( it, Glicerio) was Archbishop of Milan from 436 to 438. He is honoured as a Saint in the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church. Life Almost nothing is known about the life and the episcopate of Glycerius. He was a deacon of Milan before being elected as bishop of Milan in 436. He probably had been a tutor of the Western Roman Emperor, Valentinian III, a position that he possibly maintained while he was bishop of Milan. He passed most of his reign in Antioch in Syria. Glycerius died on 15 September 438 AD, and was buried in the Church of Saint Nazarius and Celsus in Milan. In that church fragments of the funeral epigraph of him have been discovered. His feast day is 20 September.
