She and her husband lived in the city of Rome,
and whereas her husband was one of the most important
men in the city, she became one of the city's leading
matrons. Though I am not precisely sure of the
circumstances, her husband died while they were both
still in Rome. In 410, as Alaric was approaching the
city, Faltonia Anicia Proba, an unnamed daughter, and
her grand-daughter, fled the city and made their way
safely to Africa. The unnamed daughter may well have
been her daughter-in-law, one
Anicia Juliana (2) who was the wife of Faltonia
Anicia Proba's son,
Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius. This is supported
by the fact that the grand-daughter was the child of
this union,
Demetrias, and it has been reported that
Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius died trying to
escape with his family from Rome in 410.
Anyway, Faltonia Anicia Proba had at least three
sons,
Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius,
Anicius Probinus, and the
Unnamed gentleman #1. Of her ultimate fate, as of
yet I have found nothing.
