  === Life Sketch ===
  Clodius Celsinus Adelphius or Adelfius (fl. 333–351) was a politician of the Roman Empire.
  He was married to the poet Faltonia Betitia Proba, and they had two sons:
  . Quintus Clodius Hermogenianus Olybrius (consul in 379) and
  . Faltonius Probus Alypius.
  
  His wife converted to Christianity after 353, and later Celsinus probably converted too; he probably dedicated a column ad altare majus S. Anastasiae, near the main altar of the church of Sant'Anastasia, or that was his and his wife's funerary inscription.
  
  Before 333, Adelphius was corrector of Apulia et Calabria, with the see of his office at Beneventum, where he was a patron too. In 351 he was proconsul of an unknown province, probably Africa, and he was already married to Proba. From 7 June to 18 December 351 he is attested as praefectus urbi of Rome, under the usurper Magnentius.
  
  In this period he was accused by some Dorus of conspiring against Magnentius; it is probable that this accusation was true, as shown by the fact that Proba wrote a poem celebrating Emperor Constantius II's victory over the usurper.

   Note: This source is an academic work which also cites historical records. The contained family tree record indicates that her name was Proba by virtue of being the daughter of Probus. She would almost certainly have "Proba" as part of her name. Probiana is implied because her son's name is Petronius Probianus-- the masculine of Probiana. Which would be a possible family name. It is also a name given in one of the family tree databases. It is also possible that her name was Probiana and not Proba, but there seem to be several genealogical databases that cite a daughter of Probus being Proba and not Probiana.
