Flavius Eparchius Philagrius (c. 338 – after 382) was a Roman politician and religious figure.
He was the son of Flavius Philagrius and wife. He served as a notarius between 361 and 363 and rose to comes Orientis in 382, after which he became bishop of Cyprus.
He married Egnatia Avita Severa, born c. 355, daughter of Quintus Flavius Egnatius Placidus Severus and wife Antonia Marcianilla, and had three sons: Eparchius, born c. 360, vir nobilis in Tullum Leucorum, Gallia, who married and was the father of Lupus of Troyes and Vincentius, a priest and bishop of Mediolanum Santonum, Gallia Aquitania; Flavius Julius Agricola; and Lysticius, born c. 375.[

****
Philagrius (fl. 361–382 AD) was a Roman politician. From 361 to 363 he was a notary in service of the Emperor Julian. In Gaul in 361 Julian employed Philagrius to kidnap the Alamannic king Vadomarius, whom Julian's rival, the Emperor Constantius II, had instigated to attack him. Philagrius accompanied Julian on his invasion of Persia in 363.
In 382 Philagrius was serving as comes Orientis, that is, governor of the diocese of the East, under the Emperor Theodosius I. During his term of office a famine broke out in the region. Initially said to have shown moderation in his response, Philagrius eventually lost patience and flogged the bakers for raising prices, stopping only after the Antiochene rhetor protested Libanius. Philagrius exchanged several letters with Libanius, who praised him for his contempt of lampoons and acclamations alike.
He is probably identical with the patrician Philagrius who was an ancestor of the Western Roman emperor Avitus and of bishop Magnus Felix Ennodius. Both of them were both born in Gaul, and since Philagrius was serving under Julian in Gaul in 361 he may have come from there as well.

History
Toul was known to the Romans as Tullum Leucorum, and was the capital of the Gaulish tribe of the Leuci.
Toul was the seat of the bishops of Toul; the diocese was founded around 365 and existed until 1807.
There is a great deal of Roman archæology in the area and allegedly some in the town. The Roman fortified town of Grand is some 30 km away, with its great amphitheatre and temple to the Cult of Apollo.
The old town's architecture is dominated by past glories in various states of decay, including a major Gothic cathedral, which is in a poor condition and is being slowly restored. Many of the houses were built as canonical residences in the Late Middle Ages and bear vestiges in the form of ornamental stonework.
There is no trace of the monastery, however its wine-cellars still exist, under the shops on the north side of the Rue Gambetta. (Access is possible via the Camera Shop).
