He was the last Emperor to rule both the Eastern and Western Empires before they were permanently divided. While Theodosius is best remembered for his Christian efforts (and indeed he was made a Saint, Feast Day January 17) he successful in the Gothic War also was a competent administrator and was responsible for a renaissance of Classical art.
