Greetings all,
On this day we commemorate the passing of the Western Emperor Valentinian II on May 15th in 392 AD:
He
was Emperor for 17 years, and during that time his co-rulers (in the
East and West, including usurpers) were the Emperors Valens, Gratian,
Theodosius, Arcadius, Magnus Maximus, and Victor. That's a lot of
politics going on! He had mostly good relations with the Eastern Roman
Empire during that time.
Valentinian II had a policy of religious tolerance and tried to discourage religious persecution in Rome.
