 Julian
Julian was born in AD 332 at Constantinople, the son of Julius Constantius, who was a half-brother of Constantine the Great.
Constantius II placed Julian in the care of the eunuch Mardonius, who educated him in the classical tradition of Rome, thereby instilling in him a great interest for literature, philosophy and the old pagan gods.
So Julian in AD 355 was elevated to the rank of Caesar, was married with the emperor's sister Helena and was ordered to take to the Rhine to repel invasions by the Franks and Alemanni.

 Rome: The Late Empire
It's impossible to say when the history of Rome ends and when the medieval ("medieval" means "in the middle") period begins, so I'm going to arbitrarily end this history of Rome with the assumption of the imperiate by foreigners.
The government of Rome during the fourth century essentially traces out a history of dynastic squabbles and constant internal fractiousness; it wasn't until the end of the century, in the rule of Theodosius (379-395), that Rome was again united under a single emperor.
Rome now passed to two heirs: Europe in the west and, to the east, the Byzantines, who carried on the government structure, the social structure, the art and the thought of classical Rome and Greece.

The faith in Rome and in its resurrection was not however totally lost: a Roman citizen from southern France on his way back home in 415 wrote a poem on this subject which can be regarded as the best epitaph to the glory of Ancient Rome.
Rome greatly relied upon supplies from Africa and so Ricimer, the strong man who had replaced Aetius, devoted his efforts at trying to regain control of that province.
