Originally tribunus stabuli (354) and then tribunus gentilium et scutariorum (354–360), he was promoted to magister peditum (360–362). Under Constantius II he was sent to protect the frontier on the Tigris, while Julian appointed him to the Commission of Chalcedon but passed him over for military service. In 365 the usurper Procopius recruited Agilo to his cause; Agilo eventually defected to the legitimate emperor Valens in 366.
