I'd imagine it was commissioned under one of the 5th century military figures or emperors, probably Aspar, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was done under Aetius. I'd have to see if there's any possible candidates for "Urbicius" from the time period.

Rance also established back in 2007 that Urbicus does not date to the 5th century:
‘The Etymologicum Magnum and the “Fragment of Urbicius”’, Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies 47.2 (2007) 193-224.
