In the 370s the younger Theodosius received an independent military command in the Balkans, where he repelled several incursions by the Sarmatians. Between 375 and 377, he went into retirement and his father was executed under obscure circumstances, but the emperor Gratian recalled Theodosius with full honors shortly afterwards and gave him further promotions.

@althesian9741 3 года назад

I’d argue against the idea that valens was incompetent. Gratian reinforcing him was mostly light troops and lack numbers. Valens also needed a decisive victory as the goths continued to ransack thrace. Valens simply could not stick with the guerrilla activity. The crisis started because of two roman officers who abused the situation and let it go out of control. Valens’s junior cavalry officers were the ones who started the battle going against orders. Valens negotiating with the goths might have to do with the fact he did not have a huge army. He most likely only have only 15,000 men at best. The cavalry in the battle were also very ill-disciplined. The left flank cavalry launched the first attack. They panicked and the cavalry units behind them fled. The right flank cavalry fled as well without engaging leaving the infantry to their fate. Valens was decent, not horrible.

@lyonvensa 3 года назад

Huh, people say that Valens is incompetent? Compared to the emperors that come before and after him, I think it's generally accepted that he's not bad, though in a way that there are much worse emperors than him.

@althesian9741 3 года назад

@@lyonvensa Some argued it was because of his arian faith which could be used against him in the sources. Others pointed out that it was because he felt jealousy towards gratian, especially compared to him valens’s career was not as stellar due to his less successive campaigns against the Sassanians. Though i don’t think this could be blamed entirely on him. The eastern army was still reeling from the defeats of julian and the surrender of nisbis and at least 15 forts opened the east to assault. Gratian didn’t really have what you called an army. When he marched to the east with the field army, roman deserters sent reports to the lentienses tribe. They attacked the rhine frontier. Tying up gratian for several months. He was forced to recall the field army. His forces became reduced and he couldn’t send in more men to aid valens. He later travelled down the danube with boats which implied it was a small force. Then he halts at sirmium for 4 days due to fever. He loses more men after being ambushed by alans. It makes sense why valens wanted to bring out a pitched battle. The small disastrous battle at ad salices depleted most roman forces from doing a guerrilla warfare. The longer valens waited, the more alans and huns continue to reinforce fritigern by crossing the danube. I still blame the cavalry for starting the battle first and going against orders. Fleeing the battlefield with hardly a fight either was terrible discipline. The lanciarii seniores and the matiarii despite puting up a valiant last stand were decimated.

Glad you mentioned the Ambrose incident. I think it's something worth going into more depth.

Ambrose fits the "great men of history" theory pretty well. He was the first clergyman to make an emperor essentially bend the knee. .

@@imperator7828 I know the schism hadn't happened yet, but I think Ambrose is representative of the later Roman Catholic tradition. I'm not sure why, though I think geographic distance to the Eastern capital had something to do with it, but Western bishops had more ambitions than all the rest. Not only to assert secular authority, but to claim that all other bishops owed them fealty too. Ambrose wasn't quite a medieval pope, but he showed the power a bishop could wield if he sought it. The power struggle that developed between Eastern emperors and Western bishops helped cause the schism

I think Stilicho wasn’t all that great. Stilicho claimed that Theodosius appointed him guardian over both of his sons instead of just Honorius. It makes makes no sense for Theodosius to have appointed him a guardian of Arcadius when Arcadius was 18 years old. This created extreme suspicion and hatred in the eastern court against Stilicho, which divided the empire and led them unable to work together with the western Roman Empire. Many of his contemporaries as well as numerous subsequent commentators regarded Stilicho’s assertion of dual guardianship with suspicion. His attempt to extend the authority given to him by Theodosius is viewed universally as nothing more than a naked grab for power.

@henricoz_9745 3 года назад

@@joellaz9836 Well, Arcadius was still totally unable to rule an empire, as was his brother Honorius. If Stilicho had managed to hold the regency over both empires, it would have been much less painful to have to face Alaric and then the German invasion of Gaul. The truth is that the Eastern generals and courtiers had always been envious of Stilicho, and predictably easily took control of Arcadius.

@joellaz9836 3 года назад

@@henricoz_9745 I’m not saying that the empire wouldn’t have been better until Stilicho. It just wasn’t feasible. Everyone saw Stilicho as an untrustworthy half-barbarian. Both pagan and Christian Romans disliked him. Both pagan and Christians Roman sources from that time blame Stilicho for everything just because of his barbarian ancestry. The Roman poet Paulus Orosius directly vilifies Stilicho’s vandal ancestry, writing ‘Stilicho, who was sprung from the Vandals, that unwarlike, greedy, treacherous, and crafty race.’ St. Jerome writes that “This humiliation has been brought upon her [Rome] not by the fault of her emperors, by the crime of the half-barbarian traitor.” Similarly the Roman pagan poet, Rutilius, pins all the blame on Stilicho for the sack of Rome. Rutilius assails the memory of "dire Stilicho", as he names him. In Rutilius' view, Stilicho, fearing to suffer all that had caused himself to be feared, removed the defences of the Alps and Apennines that the provident gods had interposed between the barbarians and the Eternal City, and planted the cruel Goths, his skinclad minions, in the very sanctuary of the empire: “He plunged an armed foe in the naked vitals of the land, his craft being freer from risk than that of openly inflicted disaster ... May Nero rest from all the torments of the damned, that they may seize on Stilicho; for Nero smote his own mother, but Stilicho the mother of the world!"

Valens was not that guy. Gratian was annoying his officers for rather idiotic reasons. just read the wikipedia page you'll get it. Valentinian the 2nd was just disregarded by his officers. sad end. anyway this dynasty was too short lived. and Valentinian himself was the same. imagine dying from too much raging. Jesus.

Ive always liked & felt bad for Gratian: while not seen as a puppet, he often gets relegated to being a weak or inconsequential Emperor. Though not perfect, he was the epitome of dutiful: listened to good generals, was present with his armies on the frontier, jumped into action whenever needed, and willing to help out his uncle. Even his appointment of Theodosius I proved to be beneficial for the stability of the empire. Gratian, while perhaps not earning “the Great,” should be called “the dutiful” or Pius.

@lukalisjak2106 3 года назад

min 15:30 "And with his back against the Frigidus river, what is now Vipava". If the descriptions of the wind that started blowing in the faces of Eugenius's troops are correct, their backs were against the Hubelj creek, a tributary of the Vipava. The burja wind blows from the NE to SW, while the Vipava flows from the E to W. Had they stood with their backs against the Vipava, the wind would have blown in their enemies' faces. Thus, Frigidus must have been the Hubelj which flows in a straight N to S direction, through what is now the town of Ajdovščina (which means Pagan Town in Slovene), and was a Roman fort known as Castrum ad Fluvio Frigido (in Late Antiquity also simply as Castra).

It’s weird, because Valens wasn’t really all that bad of an emperor until he blundered into Adrianople: pushing his troops in near 100 degree heat for 8 miles, rather than waiting for assistance from Gratian. Before this, though, he was by all accounts a decent administrator & general. He cut high taxes from the years of Constantine’s sons, and did a decent job defending the borders. Even with the Goths, he didn’t want them to be mistreated; it was Lupicinus (the general in charge of managing the Goths’ entrance to the empire) who pushed a people (given admittance to the empire by order of the emperor) to the point where revolt was the only way to survive. Tragic, unnecessary situation.

@lyonvensa 3 года назад

True. Valens is actually quite decent, but his subordinates are either incompetent or arrogant. It is said that the reason he went to attack the Goths by himself is because his generals talked him into it. Though in the end, they lost the battle because they didn't know the Goths got reinforcements.

Theodosius is often accused of being a fanatic and an incompetent for his successors, but i think we should see him in another light: 1) Exactly because the empire was suffering, unity was needed. Religious differences could had lead to rebellions and balkanization. Not to mention that around half of the german invaders were christians, althought heretic. They would could had been much more destructive against an "heathen" empire 2)The invasion of the first barbarians started in 378. When he took power they were already inside, and so choose to hire them and put one tribe against another in various battle, with the goal of gradually weakening them and reducing their numbers. It was a good strategy that failed just because his successors alienated Alaric too soon, while the Visigoths were still strong 3)He was accused of relying too much on barbarian soldiers, but Eugenius and other usurpers did the exact same thing. One could tell Eugenius was de facto a Frakish puppet, given he was supported by a very powerfull general of Frankish origin 4)He died young while his childrens were still kids. He had no way to know they would had groon into bad emperors. But he did left them with a lot of efficent liutenants and protectors, like Stilicho

@romualdcaffeserre6230 11 месяцев назад

The empire/republic had been living with religious differences for like a solid millenia at this point though. And anyway, you dont need religious difference to have rebellion and balkanization. The roots of the empire's suffering was not paganism, it was the constant infighting between leader who were lusting for absolute power in a system where the only way to get that power is through violence. This episode is actually a great example of everything wrong with the roman empire's leadership. There were millions of ways Theodosius could have prevented this war with the western roman empire and defuse the situation. The leaders of the west were loyal to him, appointed by him in the first place, and were trying so hard to gain his support, and it STILL ended in bloodshed because the dude was a salty control freak. He was an average emperor at best - bloodthirsty, power hungry, convinced he alone was the next cesar who could restore the empire, and absoluetly unwilling to share power with anyone. All the problems he solved were caused by him in the first place, an absolute clown of a leader.

Theodosius' many religious edicts are also inconvenient, and so now historians claim that edicts don't demonstrate intent. Um, ok. There seems to be a confusion between success and intent. Did Theo rid the world of Jupiter? No. Did he do his level best to marginalize Jupiter? More or less, yeah. Living in 390s Empire (with the exception of old Rome itself) would clearly demonstrate that paganism had no future.
