Emperor of Rome in the West 364-375
During the reigns of the Emperors Julian (361-363) and Jovian (363-364), Valentinian was a major military figure. When Jovian died in 363, the Roman army raised him up as Emperor, and the decision was ratified by the Senate. Valentinian appointed his brother, Valens, to rule with him in the East. Valentinian himself took Illyricum, Italy, Gaul, Britain, Africa, and Spain under his direct administration, leaving the eastern provinces to his brother. Under Valentinian's rule, the Roman army won many battles in Africa and Britain, and in Germany against the Alamanni and the Saxons. Valentinian furthered education throught the Empire, provided medical care for the poor, and though he was an orthodox Christian he tolerated all religions.
