Greetings all, 


On this day we reflect on the Emperor Theodosius proclaiming his son Honorius co-Emperor of the West on January 23rd in 393 AD: 


The Western empire was under pressure at the time and the reign of Honorius was chaotic. He ruled from Milan and then from Ravenna. His miscalculations and lack of military forces caused Rome to be sacked in 410 AD.
