Document Summary
Last class of the year + exam review: ammianus marcellinus: general, contemporary, big fan of julian. o. Wrote his book called the city of god, about the fall of rome. New dynasty: 363: julian is killed in parthia. Jovian is the general, and immediately appointed by army as emperor. He makes a peace treaty with parthia, and revokes julian"s laws regarding religion. On his way back he dies of an infection: 364: valentinian (west) and valens (east) (emperors) The consistorium at nicaea: spits the empire: 364-375l valentinian takes the west, and theodosius his general. Quadi, sarmatians, alamanni: he sent campaigns against him. 375: he dies, and leaves gratian at age 16 to take over the west. Splitting of the empire process was happening: there was no formal division; it was a reality on the ground. For a long time this: the emperors stopped helping one another the attitude is not you"re on your own .
