| | Maximus - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | The disaffected troops having proclaimed Maximus emperor, he crossed over to Gaul, attacked Gratian, and drove him from Paris to Lyons, where he was murdered by a partisan of Maximus. |
 | | In 387 Maximus crossed the Alps, Valentinian was speedily put to flight, while the invader established himself in Milan and for the time became master of Italy. |
 | | Maximus was proclaimed emperor immediately after Valentinian's murder (March 16, 455), but after reigning less than three months, he was murdered by some Burgundian mercenaries as he was fleeing before the troops of Genseric, who, invited by Eudoxia, the widow of Valentinian, had landed at the mouth of the Tiber (May or June 455). |
