 | | On the death of the Emperor Honorius (August 27, 423), Theodosius II, the remaining ruler of the House of Theodosius hesitated for some time in announcing his uncle's death and in the interregum Honorius' patrician at the time of his death, Castinus, elevated Joannes as emperor. |
 | | Joannes had hoped that he could come to an agreement with the emperor Theodosius, but when Theodosius elevated the young Valentinian III first to Caesar, then to co-emperor as an Augustus (undoubtedly influenced by Valentinian's mother Galla Placidia), he knew he could only expect war. |
 | | Late in 424, he sent one of his younger, but promising, followers Aetius on an embassy to the Huns to seek military help. |
