    Note: Western Emperor Gratian appointed him to succeed his eastern colleague Valens who had been killed at the Battle of Adrianople on 9 August 378. The fact that Gratian chose him as his new colleague does not necessarily mean that he enjoyed a particularly good reputation as the best general of his day. Gratian had effectively been forced to choose him since he seems to have been the most senior officer of Roman birth available to him at the time.

    Notes:

    Title: Magister Equitum Praesentalis
    Note: Theodosius the Elder was a senior military officer serving in the Western empire and rose to become the magister equitum praesentalis under the emperor Valentinian I from late 368 until his execution in early 375
    Birth: ABT 316
    Death: 375 executed in Carthage
    Note: Theodosius' father was executed at roughly the same as his accession to Emperor, and much speculation has centred on the relationship between these events. A general consensus seems to have emerged, however, that the future emperor was forced into retirement shortly after the execution of his father at Carthage in Africa during the winter of 375/6. The same court faction which had engineered the death of his father managed to persuade Valentinian to dismiss him also, or so the consensus goes.
    Event: Magister Equitum Praesentalis Acceded 368

    Notes:

    Born Flavius Valentinianus

    Valentinian was one of Rome's last great warrior emperors. There was a power vacuum after the death of Julian, last ruler of the Neo-Flavian line. His immediate successor Jovian did not really survive long enough to leave his stamp on late Roman society. In general terms, Valentinian?s challenge was to hold together an empire that had experienced sixty years of internal unrest, something which was of major import. His provincial origins and Nicene Christianity put him at odds with the senatorial nobility in the west. Furthermore, he had to deal with the increasing regionalism of the empire, especially in Gaul, Britain, and Africa. -- de Imperatoribus Romanis, An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors
