Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

REF: Chronology of Early Byzantine History: After the disaster
of Adrianople, Gratian selected Theodosius as emperor in the
East; Theodosius was the son of a general of Spanish
extraction. He was a capable soldier and a good administrator.
He was a convinced Christian, apparently someone who really
believed in all that the theories of Eusebius entailed. He was
also orthodox and at the Council of Constantinople in 381 he
virtually put an end to Arianism, a doctrine which had
dominated the East for the past fifty years. Theodosius moved
ardently against both pagans and heretics and most would date
the establishment of Christianity as the state religion to his
reign. After the death of Gratian, Theodosius became involved
in the West, and by the time of his death he ruled the whole of
an undivided empire-- the last emperor to do so.
