The death of Tiberius in AD 37 ushered in the reign of emperor Gaius or Caligula as he was nicknamed after the tiny soldier’s boots caligae he wore as a child.

In 378, the eastern emperor Valens decided to engage a large Gothic army near Hadrianopolis in Thrace rather than to wait for the arrival of reinforcements sent by the western emperor.

Indeed, from Arctic ice cores, it appears that the level of pollution produced by the smelting of lead, copper, and silver dropped dramatically in post-Roman times to prehistoric levels, not to return to Roman levels until the 16th or 17th century (and this reduction was not due to the Goths instituting stricter pollution controls).

The correlation between the "Senatorial and Roman Party" and the Anicii appears quite clear here, as does the suggestion that Maximus was the head of this party.
