Ambrose, bishop of Milan, described Rumoridus in a letter to Eugenius as maintaining the practice of ethnic religions from earliest childhood. He began his service as a career military officer, and may have been posted at some point in the Diocese of Thrace. He was eventually appointed a magister militum under Valentinian II in AD 384, was present during the debate regarding the restoration of the Altar of Victory in the Curia Julia.
