 Greetings all,


Today we commemorate the life of the Western Emperor Valentinian I who passed on  November 17th in 375 AD:


He was the brother of the Eastern Roman Emperor Valens. During his reign Valentinian successfully fought the Alamanni, Quadi and Sarmatians. His victory at the Battle of Solicinium and his success in defeating revolts in Africa and Gaul, as well as his building of fortifications and fortresses left him the legacy of being considered the "last great Western Emperor."
