		With the exception of trying to emphasize the emperor's piety, an important development in the history of the Byzantine monarchy, Arcadius and his ministers were for the most part simply reacting to events.

		Theodosius L following Constantine, helping to prepare the way for Justinian, is one of the great imperial names in the early history of the new Christian Roman Empire.
		The student of Theodosius' policies needs to have in mind the political philosophy of the Christian Empire as set forth by Eusebius, the classic treatment of which is Norman H. Baynes' article "Eusebius and the Christian Empire," published in 1933 and reprinted in Baynes' Byzantine Studies and Other Essays (London, 1955).
		This picture of the Christian Emperor as vice-gerent of God on earth, responsible for both the spiritual and the material welfare of his subjects, explains the imperial use of force to produce religious uniformity, which, as Dr. King observes (pp.

		Theodosius' policies did not result in persecutions of pagans or heretical Christians, and during this period, despite his orthodox stance, Theodosius was generally more tolerant of Arianism than Gratian, at least partly because of his new alliance with the Arian Goths (pp.

		It is said that the emperor, from profound admiration of the sanctity and eloquence of Gregory, judged that he was worthy of this bishopric, and that, from reverence of his virtue, the greater number of the Synod was of the same opinion.
		Theodosius sent for Nectarius, consulted with him concerning the coming Synod, and commanded him to introduce the discussion of all questions which had given rise to heresies, so that the church of the believers in Christ might be one, and might agree on the doctrine according to which piety ought to be observed.
		The emperor having observed that the practice of idolatry had been greatly promoted by the facility of constant ingress and egress to and from the temple, directed the entrances of all temples to be closed; and eventually he commanded the demolition of many of these edifices.

		The emperor was fired with anger when he heard the news, and unable to endure the rush of his passion, did not even check its onset by the curb of reason, but allowed his rage to be the minister of his vengeance.
		The faithful emperor returned to his palace, and as it was the time for the banquet, and his guests were assembled, he said that he could not partake of the entertainment before the interdict was taken off.

	George W. Bush, an American Theodosius by Steven LaTulippe
		As the dust settled, Rome found itself with a fallen Emperor and multitudes of Germanic tribesmen inside their borders who were dispersing and settling throughout central Europe and the Balkans.
		Theodosius the Great (a moniker which, Ferrill assures us, was more in response to his religious piety than to any actual achievements as Emperor) was thus thrust into power at one of the most crucial moments in the history of Rome.
		Theodosius’ policy set in motion a chain of events that led to the ultimate demise of the Western Roman Empire.

		Theodosius then yielded to their entreaty and had compassion on them, and ordered them to bring the tyrant immediately before him.
		The emperor reminded him of the wrongs he had done Valentinianus, of his usurped authority, and of the wars which he had waged against the rightful emperor.

		The bishop of Milan walked with ease among law-makers and emperors, being a son of Ambrose, Prefect of Gaul, the highest position under the emperor in the West.
		That Emperor Theodosius was indeed a convinced and devoted Catholic is evidenced by his first visit to Rome as the conquering ruler in 388.

	Emperor Magnus Maximus
		He certainly appears to have been a relative of the Comes Theodosius, whose son was the future Emperor Theodosius the Great, but later Welsh writers either included more detail from sources now unavailable, or wove a typically Celtic heroic thread through his story.
		The Emperor Constantius at last recaptured Britain, and remained in the country for some time, rebuilding the economy and constructing a chain of forts on the east coast, the Saxon Shore.
		Magnus Maximus left Britain in AD 383 to pursue his own claim of emperor of Rome, taking with him all the troops freed up by his reorganisations, and apparently leaving the island in a fairly good defensive position, despite the loss of good, Roman-trained troops, who never returned to Britain.
