Furius Anthianus, also known as Furius Anthus, was a Roman jurist whose exact dates are unknown, though he is thought to have lived no later than the reign of Alexander Severus in the third century AD. He wrote a commentary on the praetor's edict in five books, the Edict of Five Books, but Justinian's Digest preserves only three short excerpts from it, all from its opening book, leading scholars to conclude that the Digest's compilers had access only to an incomplete copy of his work.
