 | | Theodosius being then a widower, and meeting at Thessalonica the Princess Galla, sister to Valentinian II, to give him a pledge of his friendship, married her, and in spring 388 declared war against Maximus, and dismissed the ambassador the tyrant had sent to court his favour. |
 | | Theodosius, who had been informed of the affair by the Count of the East, ordered the bishop and other Christians, who had demolished the synagogue, to rebuild it, and to be rigorously punished. |
 | | Theodosius returned to Milan on the 1st of September and restored the whole western empire to Valentinian, in whose mind, by repeated instructions, he imprinted so deeply the Catholic faith that the young prince put himself entirely under the discipline of St. Ambrose and honoured him as his father to his death. |
