Thomas Anicius, Count of Mediolanum, MC EOV (Flavius Anicius Probinus Thomas Theophylactus Georgius; b. 17 April 1984) is a Latin nobleman, patrician, and equestrian. He is the eldest son and child of Nicephorus Anicius, 3rd Duke of Ossonoba and Princess Marthe of Falkenhayn.

At the time of his birth he was thirteenth in line to the Latin throne; as of 2018 he has fallen out of the official line, though is unofficially thirty-sixth in line. He is heir apparent to the Dukedom of Ossonoba, its subsidiary titles and Life senator seat. Mediolanum is best known for his marriage to Princess Maria of Latium and two AEF World Championship victories in 2010 and 2013.

Anicius was appointed Propraetor of Ancona in February 2018.

Early life and education

Thomas Anicus was born on 17 April 1984 at Hieria Palace in Alexandria as the eldest child of then Nicephorus Anicius, Count of Mediolanum and Princess Marthe of Falkenhayn. He was baptized into the Fabrian Catholic Church in June 1984 by the Basilica of Saint Maria in Castellum by Archbishop Flavius Hostillius of Castellum. His godparents were John Ernest, Duke of Falkenhayn (his mother's brother); and Ionna Anicia (his father's sister).

Mediolanum was educated at Our Lady of Galata (Latin: Beata Maria Galatae) in Alexandria, and later Saint Alexander, also in Alexandria. He first took up equestrianism while attending Our Lady of Galata. After completing secondary school, he enrolled at Empress Alexandra College at University of Castellum Iohannes XIII‎, where he studied psychology. His studies were sporadic due to equestrianism, though he eventually graduated in 2006.
