Tiberius Claudius Donatus was a Roman Latin grammarian of whom a single work is known, the Interpretationes Vergilianae, a commentary to Virgil. He is thought to have flourished in the 430s. His work, rediscovered in 1438, proved popular in the early modern age; 55 editions of this book were printed between 1488 and 1599. However, it is almost certainly the case that Donatus wrote very little if any of this commentary, which other texts confirm to be the commentary on the Aeneid written by Suetonius (c. 70 - 130 A.D.).
