Greetings all,
Today we celebrate the Empress Aelia Eudoxia who passed on October 6th in 404 AD:
She was the wife of the Emperor Arcadius and the mother of future
Emperor Theodosius II. As Empress Aelia Eudoxia was active and
influential in court and in the church. She was depicted on coinage, a
statue of her was erected on a column of Imperial Porphyry, and Arcadius
renamed the town of Selymbria to Eudoxiopolis in her honor. She was
buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in a porphyry sarcophagus.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
