More DescriptionPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Flavius Valentinianus, known in English as Valentinian I, his brother Valens from 364 until his death. He was the last emperor to have de facto control over the entire empire, and was the last to conduct campaigns east of the Rhine and north of the Danube. His reign was mostly spent fighting the Germanic tribes, defeating the Alamanni and Franks on many occasions. He rebuilt and improved the fortifications along the frontier, even building new fortresses in enemy territory. Due to the successful nature of his reign, and the almost immediate decline in fortunes for the empire after his death, Valentinian is often referred to as the last great emperor.He founded the Valentinian Dynasty, with his sons Gratian and Valentinian II succeeding him in the western half of the empire.
