Auspicius of Toul was a 5th-century bishop and poet belonging to the Gallo-Roman aristocracy. Serving as the fifth recorded bishop of Toul, he was the first to lead the diocese under Frankish rule following the decline of Roman authority. He is highly regarded for his literary contributions, specifically his innovative use of iambic verse based on word stress rather than classical quantity. As a member of the high-ranking nobility, he maintained significant intellectual connections with contemporary leaders and scholars.
