Greetings all,
 
On this day, March 28th in 364 AD, Emperor Valentinian I appointed his brother Flavius Valens as Emperor of the East:
 
 
This was done at Hebdomon, before the Constantinian Walls. Valens is considered by some to be one of the last true Roman emperors. Sadly he was not a successful military commander and was killed at the Battle of Adrianople in 378 AD due to not waiting for support from Valentinian I.
 
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
