en-wikipedia-org-5669		Valentinian II - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	3441	468	64	Until 383, Valentinian II remained a junior partner to his older half-brother Gratian in ruling the Western empire, while the East was governed by his uncle Valens until 378 and Theodosius I from 379. However, Gratian and his court was essentially in charge of the whole Western empire, including Illyricum, and Valentinian did not issue any laws and was marginalized in textual sources.[5][6][7] In 378, their uncle, the Emperor Valens, was killed in battle with the Goths at Adrianople, and Gratian invited the general Theodosius to be emperor in the East. Zosimus writing in the early sixth century from Constantinople, states that Arbogast had Valentinian murdered;[21] ancient authorities are divided in their opinion and some modern scholars argue for suicide.[22][page needed] Ambrose's eulogy is the only contemporary Western source for Valentinian's death.[23] It is ambiguous on the question of the emperor's death, which is not surprising, as Ambrose represents him as a model of Christian virtue.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5669.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5669.txt
