In the West, a Nicene majority lorded over an Aryan minority, while in the East, these roles were reversed. | <0>1434<0>2152<0>1441<0>2510<0>3695<0>348<0>1578<0>3052<0>3018<0>2239<0>3695<0>2152<0>807<0>3748<0>3927<0>546<0>3118<0>1442<0>3840<0>3162<0>3516<0>1488<0>1370<0>3057<0>684<0>2239<0>276<0>2675<0>2020<0>2339<0>3563<0>3131<0>3439<0>1759<0>2551<0>2054<0>2178<0>1370<0>1951<0>2178<0>3392<0>1185<0>2176<0>1377<0>3328<0>3328<0>... |
This meant that when he came to power, Theodosius, born in Spain and a devout Nicene, | <0>2921<0>368<0>3832<0>679<0>807<0>196<0>2769<0>3633<0>1117<0>3297<0>289<0>289<0>3386<0>553<0>3297<0>3472<0>3797<0>1136<0>1311<0>2178<0>1649<0>1025<0>290<0>3973<0>3052<0>2838<0>1206<0>3935<0>2864<0>3516<0>3832<0>3642<0>2705<0>1219<0>3808<0>3237<0>2700<0>3299<0>2535<0>1484<0>3404<0>3642<0>2769<0>2199<0>2019<0>289<0>3297... |
Found himself ruling over the half of the empire that believed the opposite of what he believed. So what did he do? | <0>2754<0>3695<0>3404<0>196<0>553<0>954<0>1026<0>1978<0>2422<0>3888<0>2178<0>941<0>2649<0>1168<0>2675<0>614<0>2054<0>649<0>2009<0>852<0>3239<0>175<0>2338<0>2338<0>289<0>1519<0>1639<0>1639<0>1974<0>1311<0>3918<0>3022<0>614<0>614<0>962<0>3123<0>1667<0>684<0>1973<0>1902<0>3434<0>5<0>5<0>2176<0>390<0>2156<0>955<0>3018<0>18... |
Did he keep religion from becoming a divisive issue by downplaying the doctrinal differences between himself and his subjects? | <0>2420<0>2581<0>2353<0>1206<0>289<0>289<0>3973<0>3497<0>1206<0>3798<0>1981<0>3297<0>1020<0>2563<0>147<0>3695<0>2221<0>954<0>3162<0>3832<0>229<0>3297<0>289<0>2627<0>1502<0>2338<0>2152<0>1857<0>172<0>2178<0>3097<0>2848<0>3785<0>3868<0>1957<0>196<0>1136<0>2497<0>3973<0>630<0>3404<0>196<0>3783<0>3180<0>1011<0>1434<0>77<0>... |
Well, you'd think so, but instead he did the other thing. | <0>998<0>2151<0>1777<0>1883<0>289<0>2581<0>2892<0>1547<0>729<0>4074<0>2312<0>1370<0>2178<0>464<0>955<0>3237<0>3237<0>2700<0>2700<0>3840<0>546<0>2152<0>1578<0>1547<0>1726<0>2581<0>1938<0>289<0>289<0>289<0>3022<0>2595<0>234<0>1885<0>941<0>3579<0>3579<0>3151<0>1552<0>2730<0>324<0>1632<0>1301<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>3... |
In early 380 with the gothic war raging all around him, Theodosius became sick. | <0>2152<0>386<0>1618<0>1729<0>3555<0>2440<0>2748<0>926<0>1547<0>2464<0>1168<0>2338<0>1703<0>807<0>3404<0>2221<0>3695<0>1981<0>2976<0>2541<0>2339<0>628<0>4028<0>1494<0>1639<0>1488<0>2548<0>2745<0>1192<0>1370<0>3579<0>3579<0>1632<0>1639<0>977<0>2239<0>2700<0>3018<0>1746<0>1547<0>2581<0>1883<0>1510<0>1747<0>2338<0>648<0>3... |
So sick that he feared for his life and requested a formal baptism. | <0>3052<0>3927<0>2151<0>1026<0>3695<0>3303<0>2626<0>1206<0>3861<0>1830<0>1011<0>679<0>1830<0>1618<0>3968<0>3840<0>3168<0>1136<0>4054<0>3239<0>415<0>361<0>3642<0>1981<0>2339<0>1488<0>3705<0>3665<0>3328<0>649<0>978<0>1488<0>1488<0>1488<0>614<0>1902<0>611<0>3052<0>2419<0>63<0>1639<0>3018<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
Following this baptism, the emperor suddenly recovered, and it was hard not to draw a connection between the two events. | <0>2199<0>2541<0>2541<0>1846<0>3297<0>2092<0>2338<0>3310<0>3404<0>1973<0>2551<0>2419<0>326<0>3840<0>1654<0>1654<0>3642<0>611<0>2338<0>2338<0>2700<0>2907<0>2700<0>3660<0>1846<0>196<0>3297<0>1434<0>3840<0>283<0>2642<0>2221<0>2338<0>432<0>3018<0>955<0>955<0>2700<0>2239<0>2239<0>1117<0>2152<0>2339<0>3404<0>360<0>94<0>1902<... |
Fuelled by a religious certainty that now bordered on fanaticism, when Theodosius entered Constantinople for the first time later in the year, | <0>2354<0>746<0>1957<0>2921<0>196<0>3404<0>291<0>3404<0>2339<0>3516<0>2020<0>538<0>2848<0>3832<0>1830<0>2338<0>1639<0>196<0>1545<0>2627<0>1259<0>4095<0>840<0>1883<0>543<0>327<0>2339<0>2531<0>3516<0>3579<0>3733<0>1578<0>3579<0>2497<0>1007<0>3840<0>1578<0>3579<0>5<0>2178<0>234<0>2700<0>2700<0>2700<0>3147<0>2239<0>2239<0>... |
One of the first things he did was depose the Aryan bishop of the capital city. | <0>998<0>3135<0>196<0>234<0>2756<0>1978<0>3404<0>860<0>2921<0>3297<0>2152<0>1301<0>289<0>1654<0>1074<0>2675<0>1219<0>2338<0>2038<0>1455<0>2899<0>3413<0>3404<0>2921<0>4028<0>2038<0>3353<0>709<0>2137<0>1981<0>2388<0>1117<0>196<0>1316<0>1849<0>1455<0>3579<0>2338<0>1667<0>1849<0>3705<0>2178<0>2980<0>2178<0>2354<0>3695<0>18... |
He then promulgated a famous edict, stating flatly that the emperor considered Nicene Christianity to be the only form of Christianity. | <0>289<0>2152<0>1547<0>226<0>196<0>3783<0>1981<0>1117<0>1117<0>3887<0>1486<0>2627<0>686<0>785<0>1578<0>3118<0>3297<0>3642<0>1849<0>3165<0>289<0>1206<0>3861<0>1571<0>955<0>2239<0>2700<0>2239<0>2018<0>1830<0>334<0>2581<0>3297<0>3143<0>446<0>1981<0>898<0>3187<0>614<0>2649<0>1899<0>2338<0>3097<0>3022<0>807<0>2324<0>1973<0>... |
Everything else would be considered false and heretical and be against the law. | <0>2241<0>2748<0>1309<0>2353<0>2848<0>475<0>1973<0>2178<0>3052<0>2239<0>2700<0>2239<0>1675<0>2568<0>1899<0>1300<0>3386<0>3239<0>1455<0>2355<0>978<0>2548<0>2548<0>2548<0>3660<0>2105<0>2700<0>1376<0>2700<0>3808<0>4095<0>3386<0>1007<0>2748<0>1883<0>628<0>3516<0>3052<0>1219<0>1488<0>2239<0>3393<0>1748<0>977<0>290<0>1989<0>... |
Through the end of the war with the Goths and into the period of stalemate with Maximus, Theodosius endorsed and then backed a systematic program to remove Arian clergymen from church offices and replace them with Niceneans. | <0>1978<0>746<0>2799<0>1957<0>850<0>1190<0>2838<0>779<0>2199<0>1007<0>545<0>3962<0>545<0>3840<0>289<0>2338<0>3151<0>3579<0>1973<0>3385<0>2038<0>3762<0>2239<0>2038<0>746<0>1501<0>368<0>2152<0>814<0>3840<0>789<0>3143<0>1858<0>1011<0>2199<0>491<0>1746<0>546<0>2339<0>2178<0>1951<0>2675<0>175<0>3798<0>2531<0>561<0>978<0>297... |
This, as you can imagine, did not go over too well with the locals. | <0>196<0>2152<0>2581<0>1594<0>1578<0>2193<0>3515<0>746<0>3277<0>289<0>2626<0>2152<0>2178<0>3516<0>3516<0>1667<0>2538<0>290<0>290<0>2152<0>3297<0>3297<0>3297<0>3404<0>1618<0>789<0>3277<0>3974<0>2422<0>1981<0>1981<0>1675<0>3187<0>3297<0>2092<0>1370<0>1488<0>614<0>2338<0>1219<0>2092<0>1846<0>998<0>1488<0>3029<0>2569<0>955... |
But for the time being, there was very little they could do. | <0>3164<0>2748<0>3695<0>679<0>538<0>1618<0>898<0>3642<0>234<0>289<0>1206<0>1011<0>1502<0>3882<0>1287<0>425<0>1541<0>2492<0>3974<0>3131<0>2769<0>1401<0>291<0>1501<0>724<0>2020<0>1219<0>2312<0>684<0>2022<0>1277<0>3388<0>2848<0>2357<0>797<0>2921<1>3211<1>349<1>3146<1>1164<1>157<1>738<1>3438<1>3900<1>786<1>3010<1>3672<1>40... |
It was one thing to fight the Nicaeans when they were just a collection of rival priests. | <0>538<0>1309<0>3277<0>3180<0>1902<0>1284<0>3782<0>3894<0>2152<0>2199<0>1594<0>807<0>2700<0>234<0>649<0>172<0>1578<0>2335<0>3642<0>3776<0>234<0>2338<0>1982<0>3486<0>1192<0>2338<0>270<0>5<0>175<0>2972<0>2178<0>2020<0>3705<0>3106<0>432<0>165<0>1370<0>2648<0>1136<0>359<0>2797<0>348<0>3404<0>289<0>1723<0>2354<0>2354<0>3665... |
It was quite another to fight them when they were backed by Imperial agents who had, you know, like swords and stuff. | <0>3097<0>1117<0>3840<0>2921<0>327<0>1902<0>727<0>3791<0>3404<0>3404<0>3705<0>1578<0>2648<0>2178<0>1074<0>2178<0>2178<0>1168<0>1370<0>614<0>1136<0>2648<0>611<0>2987<0>3120<0>552<0>789<0>1213<0>2393<0>2054<0>443<0>3622<0>3131<0>703<0>552<0>3307<0>1578<0>3052<0>1243<0>1571<0>3147<0>1031<0>3840<0>3663<0>3962<0>1192<0>1748... |
Oddly enough though, Theodosius' religious zeal did not yet extend to paganism, which he treated with a fair degree of tolerance throughout this period. | <0>3671<0>1902<0>2368<0>279<0>193<0>2152<0>3404<0>254<0>1370<0>2178<0>2239<0>2239<0>1538<0>2921<0>3277<0>386<0>1725<0>288<0>2284<0>4022<0>326<0>1452<0>3840<0>3840<0>196<0>3297<0>1206<0>2152<0>254<0>1701<0>2178<0>2178<0>390<0>384<0>2293<0>353<0>3118<0>289<0>3297<0>3404<0>1973<0>679<0>901<0>1011<0>860<0>446<0>103<0>2419<... |
Blood sacrifices were out of the question, of course. But other than that, the remaining pagans in the East did not have to deal with the same kind of treatment doled out by Gration in the West. | <0>2396<0>2324<0>2872<0>1157<0>3927<0>1594<0>807<0>5<0>2972<0>1136<0>3120<0>1578<0>4028<0>2972<0>1192<0>3579<0>1639<0>2551<0>1981<0>807<0>3665<0>1510<0>1502<0>1488<0>2548<0>321<0>2756<0>1582<0>2354<0>425<0>1649<0>196<0>3404<0>2151<0>2700<0>390<0>1569<0>3277<0>3906<0>2176<0>2627<0>3695<0>3935<0>348<0>1649<0>3022<0>2338<... |
And that tolerance would eventually be dropped by Theodosius as a part of his general make nice with Ambrose program, following the unpleasantries at Thessalonica in 390. | <0>3837<0>3447<0>538<0>898<0>86<0>2697<0>3404<0>3143<0>3840<0>3906<0>3404<0>3297<0>326<0>3297<0>294<0>2627<0>2436<0>2541<0>1883<0>614<0>3120<0>1132<0>3364<0>3328<0>1502<0>3579<0>1510<0>517<0>4044<0>2298<0>2338<0>2700<0>1311<0>1370<0>3516<0>103<0>649<0>3609<0>3076<0>2756<0>3579<0>1192<0>2987<0>2156<0>2907<0>2980<0>1982<... |
But for now, Theodosius generally left pagans alone. | <0>1880<0>679<0>2771<0>1978<0>2284<0>2436<0>1981<0>1117<0>390<0>1541<0>425<0>390<0>955<0>1007<0>368<0>1547<0>2102<0>3840<0>2848<0>2152<0>326<0>2538<0>368<0>807<0>3404<0>1981<0>3297<0>2178<0>1370<0>3151<0>1649<0>2137<0>3111<0>3808<0>234<0>2898<0>1981<0>3404<0>614<0>2575<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0... |
When Maximus came to power in 383 then, he could see that he had some catching up to do if he was going to be perceived by Ambrose as the true great defender of the Nicene Creed. | <0>2499<0>3373<0>1957<0>3347<0>1190<0>3316<0>3748<0>3840<0>234<0>1578<0>103<0>2668<0>2497<0>2191<0>2231<0>1136<0>1311<0>1370<0>2649<0>3328<0>1578<0>3404<0>475<0>1011<0>3353<0>1300<0>1723<0>649<0>3697<0>3516<0>1982<0>1639<0>3018<0>955<0>2700<0>1219<0>3089<0>368<0>1501<0>1957<0>2762<0>4074<0>2563<0>289<0>1409<0>1276<0>31... |
Now the main reason it was so important to be seen as a staunch Nicene was because at that moment, the powerful Ambrose was technically backing an Aryan court. | <0>2199<0>3987<0>3592<0>690<0>2090<0>1811<0>219<0>926<0>2152<0>2615<0>2921<0>1578<0>1880<0>3695<0>1981<0>954<0>1488<0>1370<0>1502<0>3239<0>1502<0>1855<0>1855<0>2353<0>289<0>1394<0>2416<0>2338<0>3162<0>4074<0>3660<0>2338<0>3151<0>3239<0>72<0>2419<0>631<0>3927<0>1206<0>1848<0>552<0>1639<0>2018<0>3237<0>3237<0>2700<0>2700... |
The Empress Justina was an Arian, and as a result, her young son Valentinian was too. | <0>382<0>1547<0>2748<0>1567<0>1973<0>3277<0>1276<0>2151<0>3671<0>2626<0>1206<0>3297<0>1488<0>2338<0>1442<0>1056<0>580<0>2034<0>1173<0>1095<0>1639<0>977<0>3147<0>3237<0>3147<0>2239<0>2178<0>2419<0>1496<0>3840<0>2541<0>1309<0>443<0>2548<0>3052<0>2700<0>3237<0>2239<0>2700<0>3404<0>919<0>3974<0>196<0>3297<0>326<0>1370<0>12... |
As we'll see in a second, this led to all kinds of nasty little disputes between the imperial family and the bishop. | <0>3695<0>3840<0>1846<0>3695<0>1306<0>623<0>2152<0>3927<0>607<0>3143<0>3695<0>229<0>3762<0>415<0>725<0>725<0>390<0>2921<0>2152<0>1547<0>2199<0>2752<0>3589<0>3832<0>3297<0>2949<0>2548<0>2745<0>2062<0>2499<0>2669<0>3545<0>2748<0>2365<0>3297<0>2338<0>432<0>3123<0>1238<0>2656<0>2748<0>2199<0>1501<0>2020<0>2020<0>1259<0>256... |
And because the majority of the population in Milan was Nicene, this meant that it would be pretty easy for Ambrose to use these disputes to drive a huge wedge between the imperial family and the citizens of Milan, if he were so inclined. | <0>1211<0>2152<0>3297<0>1957<0>2335<0>2813<0>3229<0>254<0>3277<0>954<0>3297<0>779<0>2541<0>3404<0>926<0>3297<0>2176<0>1031<0>1981<0>1981<0>3297<0>234<0>1624<0>1723<0>1486<0>1502<0>2178<0>614<0>2548<0>614<0>614<0>326<0>3516<0>30<0>1578<0>4074<0>289<0>3194<0>1277<0>290<0>2239<0>1376<0>1172<0>924<0>1252<0>1541<0>196<0>185... |
Maximus figured that if he could prove his Nicene bona fides, eventually Ambrose might get sick of supporting those damned heretics in the Imperial Palace and throw his weight behind the Nicene usurper up in Trier. | <0>3837<0>3987<0>1798<0>2315<0>679<0>746<0>3832<0>926<0>3439<0>3297<0>256<0>373<0>1747<0>919<0>289<0>2626<0>1639<0>1618<0>3516<0>3516<0>2454<0>1486<0>432<0>289<0>2440<0>1300<0>3328<0>234<0>1639<0>1981<0>3840<0>2199<0>3151<0>1136<0>2178<0>326<0>955<0>2293<0>425<0>955<0>1025<0>3840<0>807<0>2613<0>1578<0>2178<0>135<0>3842... |
In an effort to win over Ambrose's support, Maximus decided to do Theodosius' Nicene extremism one better. | <0>1654<0>3880<0>379<0>446<0>2837<0>1026<0>3618<0>1981<0>1773<0>1007<0>1883<0>3404<0>3439<0>3642<0>2339<0>2338<0>2972<0>389<0>2404<0>234<0>443<0>327<0>443<0>1762<0>2700<0>2700<0>3466<0>1614<0>3237<0>2239<0>3310<0>2748<0>3987<0>1042<0>1310<0>1303<0>2748<0>3545<0>3927<0>898<0>2541<0>2023<0>1206<0>3041<0>1277<0>1206<0>289... |
But there weren't really any Aryan clergy he could expel from office, since his provinces didn't really have too many Aryan clergymen. | <0>611<0>3987<0>3131<0>3471<0>2210<0>1680<0>3987<0>1683<0>2848<0>2152<0>121<0>2716<0>807<0>1011<0>3837<0>2338<0>1857<0>256<0>1618<0>4028<0>921<0>1667<0>3328<0>2038<0>649<0>2354<0>326<0>1370<0>1192<0>1578<0>3246<0>2548<0>2339<0>1883<0>2338<0>432<0>1578<0>446<0>3180<0>2178<0>326<0>2700<0>390<0>546<0>2096<0>1136<0>1311<0>... |
But there were heretical communities out there just waiting to be persecuted. | <0>1649<0>3840<0>2151<0>2700<0>2980<0>234<0>2152<0>3401<0>1117<0>3783<0>2898<0>2898<0>1310<0>2102<0>1117<0>291<0>807<0>2921<0>3840<0>2669<0>2265<0>1982<0>1502<0>919<0>1486<0>135<0>2088<0>1899<0>2170<0>3151<0>1649<0>3027<0>1192<0>2178<0>3864<0>807<0>3665<0>803<0>2239<0>2239<0>327<0>291<0>1206<0>684<0>1502<0>2960<0>289<0... |
But without patronage to cut off or lands to confiscate, there was really only one method of persecution left. | <0>3615<0>1157<0>2436<0>2221<0>1649<0>386<0>1286<0>3187<0>3642<0>3297<0>1855<0>2927<0>3066<0>1136<0>3579<0>3579<0>3151<0>2338<0>1370<0>1762<0>234<0>2176<0>1306<0>3968<0>3592<0>1552<0>2921<0>175<0>3579<0>2338<0>3239<0>2404<0>1300<0>1635<0>2568<0>789<0>425<0>2683<0>2683<0>384<0>3228<0>2427<0>1157<0>3277<0>2748<0>3701<0>5... |
Sometime between 384 and 386, a bishop from the Iberian peninsula named Prisillian wound up in a heated theological fight with the mainstream Nicene surrounding him. | <0>3927<0>2436<0>3404<0>1857<0>1569<0>690<0>3277<0>3592<0>3297<0>3297<0>2199<0>1858<0>926<0>2848<0>2569<0>2123<0>3783<0>3297<0>3239<0>2338<0>1678<0>1168<0>0<0>388<0>2096<0>1732<0>2569<0>3310<0>1538<0>2700<0>3237<0>3237<0>2700<0>3404<0>567<0>3249<0>4022<0>2922<0>3686<0>3404<0>229<0>3439<0>3642<0>2498<0>3439<0>2388<0>238... |
After most of his allies in the church were deposed, Priscilla wound up appealing directly to Maximus for aid. To the great surprise of the heretical bishop, Maximus decided to hear the appeal, and then deny the appeal, and then hand down a little divine justice. | <0>3377<0>898<0>291<0>1981<0>3404<0>1026<0>3277<0>3277<0>3277<0>2151<0>1883<0>1883<0>2023<0>1545<0>432<0>1667<0>978<0>2034<0>4028<0>1973<0>2338<0>2700<0>1331<0>175<0>1762<0>1762<0>517<0>3132<0>290<0>1038<0>2239<0>3018<0>955<0>1973<0>3318<0>2354<0>3840<0>1452<0>807<0>2669<0>1981<0>3840<0>3798<0>2980<0>3344<0>1951<0>3253... |
Priscilla and six of his followers were arrested and then beheaded. | <0>1973<0>3899<0>3927<0>1452<0>2669<0>1277<0>3123<0>196<0>196<0>3913<0>2626<0>3642<0>175<0>1880<0>807<0>3927<0>2934<0>3277<0>770<0>3563<0>2548<0>3579<0>443<0>2338<0>1545<0>2700<0>2700<0>3237<0>2700<0>2548<0>1883<0>1973<0>2178<0>1192<0>1288<0>1578<0>1567<0>3239<0>955<0>2700<0>3466<0>2700<0>2754<0>1117<0>1277<0>3253<0>35... |
It was the first recorded case of an execution on charges of heresy in history, though technically I think he was brought up on charges of practicing magic. | <0>2420<0>1007<0>3277<0>3840<0>1026<0>1978<0>1618<0>3354<0>2921<0>1973<0>2499<0>2541<0>3906<0>3022<0>2143<0>3642<0>2388<0>1578<0>3840<0>229<0>1376<0>219<0>900<0>2762<0>3472<0>2335<0>3297<0>2848<0>432<0>3579<0>1502<0>2487<0>1370<0>3516<0>73<0>2338<0>3286<0>705<0>3089<0>2922<0>3705<0>1578<0>1578<0>172<0>1377<0>1277<0>437... |
And it was also the first recorded case of the state handing down a death sentence to resolve a church dispute. | <0>2655<0>746<0>2499<0>3840<0>2102<0>3970<0>3660<0>3840<0>196<0>3840<0>446<0>1370<0>2569<0>3239<0>1370<0>446<0>321<0>2338<0>1667<0>2038<0>3230<0>1377<0>1578<0>3310<0>955<0>3762<0>3762<0>1883<0>196<0>2769<0>2547<0>978<0>524<0>900<0>2152<0>2924<0>3018<0>1243<0>4037<0>3237<0>2240<0>746<0>3297<0>3297<0>3297<0>1981<0>833<0>... |
But though it earned him an ignoble place in history, the move kind of backfired on Maximus, as Ambrose harshly condemned the executions. Because it was wrong to kill over doctrinal disputes? Well, no. | <0>196<0>3840<0>234<0>2151<0>2422<0>1309<0>2295<0>898<0>3404<0>679<0>553<0>679<0>3642<0>1654<0>3487<0>2581<0>3007<0>1982<0>3328<0>3840<0>1955<0>1441<0>1117<0>1331<0>546<0>3143<0>552<0>1635<0>623<0>3143<0>1830<0>103<0>3114<0>3882<0>1038<0>2239<0>1614<0>234<0>679<0>679<0>1309<0>3798<0>2199<0>1857<0>2748<0>3472<0>2099<0>3... |
Ambrose opposed the executions on the grounds that Maximus had strayed out of his jurisdiction Church matters should be solved by the church Maximus had no right to interfere | <0>4036<0>901<0>3082<0>3404<0>3404<0>3404<0>1777<0>1620<0>2324<0>2299<0>3837<0>1206<0>3663<0>1562<0>3832<0>77<0>1486<0>649<0>1849<0>432<0>2338<0>2697<0>954<0>1981<0>3579<0>3579<0>2178<0>3052<0>3540<0>2952<0>955<0>290<0>234<0>1230<0>2324<0>2354<0>3472<0>3180<0>3143<0>3642<0>3837<0>3927<0>2404<0>628<0>1611<0>2388<0>1311<... |
The business with Brazilian just so happened to occur right after Ambrose's second trip to Trier in 385. | <0>3592<0>679<0>2070<0>2741<0>1484<0>3927<0>3592<0>3840<0>1973<0>1007<0>1703<0>3832<0>2339<0>2020<0>1885<0>3307<0>290<0>1614<0>2700<0>3837<0>3861<0>2375<0>898<0>2762<0>1978<0>327<0>3404<0>2921<0>3297<0>1671<0>2338<0>1762<0>2972<0>1370<0>5<0>1805<0>3393<0>3310<0>1981<0>3135<0>2735<0>1261<0>2278<0>2163<0>3377<0>326<0>253... |
When he went to sea about retrieving Gratian's body so that it could be properly buried. | <0>2700<0>3840<0>1206<0>3297<0>1401<0>3109<0>2152<0>1703<0>3118<0>2581<0>3974<0>2648<0>614<0>2178<0>3354<0>1777<0>3439<0>289<0>3297<0>1219<0>1370<0>1494<0>1849<0>234<0>1578<0>1675<0>1846<0>1883<0>2984<0>3239<0>5<0>2034<0>1168<0>500<0>3328<0>3307<0>3328<0>2088<0>611<0>3151<0>1311<0>2176<0>3027<0>3328<0>1675<0>1192<0>137... |
But this time around, Ambrose had been met by a slightly more hostile version of Maximus. | <0>1031<0>3840<0>918<0>1547<0>446<0>3748<0>652<0>1981<0>1883<0>1007<0>2338<0>1639<0>3164<0>2700<0>1108<0>494<0>746<0>3899<0>2799<0>2510<0>2762<0>2151<0>345<0>546<0>3297<0>3642<0>2388<0>359<0>1981<0>3194<0>1011<0>1205<0>1578<0>2339<0>3150<0>1678<0>3618<0>386<0>3783<0>2541<0>2221<0>1218<0>1007<0>1026<0>1370<0>2338<0>1370... |
Yes, he was courting the Nicene's generally. And yes, he badly wanted Ambrose's support specifically. | <0>648<0>2838<0>1525<0>898<0>1857<0>2848<0>954<0>3277<0>5<0>1484<0>2541<0>475<0>954<0>229<0>3642<0>1205<0>3695<0>3642<0>294<0>2105<0>1510<0>2009<0>2178<0>3579<0>3579<0>1491<0>3018<0>955<0>2239<0>2239<0>2388<0>3297<0>289<0>3131<0>2656<0>807<0>1578<0>3762<0>1938<0>2353<0>871<0>147<0>3980<0>3377<0>2339<0>3297<0>1117<0>378... |
But that did not stop the general from taking the opportunity to angrily come down on Ambrose for bargaining in bad faith the last time around. | <0>2866<0>3840<0>2151<0>3297<0>1206<0>3297<0>3592<0>1618<0>1973<0>3927<0>1857<0>898<0>1973<0>2575<0>4062<0>1486<0>2338<0>1192<0>3151<0>3579<0>2178<0>3388<0>553<0>1501<0>3297<0>3297<0>690<0>1136<0>998<0>1675<0>1301<0>3328<0>3328<0>3123<0>1377<0>3386<0>234<0>1639<0>758<0>746<0>679<0>3404<0>3840<0>3194<0>1542<0>1618<0>379... |

Maximus refused to release Gratian's body, and Ambrose wound up heading home empty handed. | <0>3540<0>390<0>679<0>2748<0>1857<0>2921<0>3592<0>2191<0>2176<0>3239<0>446<0>1206<0>679<0>3832<0>3187<0>1883<0>1981<0>3297<0>2848<0>2038<0>1370<0>2137<0>1723<0>432<0>1578<0>998<0>3151<0>3516<0>2398<0>2018<0>2239<0>3237<0>2700<0>2700<0>2239<0>4086<0>2152<0>3118<0>623<0>1981<0>3404<0>3840<0>3052<0>2178<0>2178<0>2339<0>10... |
It is entirely possible that fallout from this summit was behind Ambrose's later condemnation of the execution of Priscilla. | <0>2325<0>1773<0>3927<0>2152<0>1746<0>2332<0>3227<0>1902<0>546<0>327<0>1218<0>1218<0>254<0>234<0>1488<0>2178<0>1778<0>4074<0>2541<0>2548<0>1620<0>1639<0>1552<0>3579<0>3328<0>1578<0>446<0>3579<0>1639<0>2675<0>2020<0>2972<0>289<0>691<0>3404<0>3118<0>2353<0>647<0>2848<0>807<0>1981<0>3579<0>4075<0>5<0>3117<0>1943<0>2020<0>... |
Though Ambrose did not really need an ulterior motive to argue that emperors had no business messing with church affairs. | <0>2700<0>3840<0>697<0>3404<0>2575<0>2669<0>2417<0>900<0>746<0>1981<0>3404<0>3277<0>3665<0>1654<0>3297<0>1007<0>614<0>1168<0>724<0>2185<0>368<0>703<0>318<0>2152<0>1981<0>3783<0>4044<0>2034<0>1899<0>2338<0>2054<0>3404<0>3840<0>3516<0>1219<0>4027<0>2987<0>1192<0>3516<0>1899<0>3057<0>1639<0>390<0>390<0>2338<0>1709<0>2799<... |
His belief in that principle is well documented. | <0>2239<0>2594<0>546<0>2769<0>234<0>3840<0>2615<0>2581<0>3143<0>3297<0>1277<0>1277<0>2530<0>3949<0>1025<0>348<0>649<0>63<0>5<0>1488<0>1488<0>1649<0>276<0>3018<0>1899<0>793<0>2338<0>1667<0>1219<0>2566<0>1370<0>443<0>1488<0>3470<0>2648<0>3310<0>2730<0>3705<0>3665<0>653<0>1649<0>2178<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>3... |
It is the famous incident at the Portian Basilica. | <0>2307<0>1117<0>2152<0>2152<0>326<0>517<0>3072<0>2375<0>2152<0>2152<0>3665<0>1199<0>1654<0>2152<0>1578<0>1114<0>3328<0>234<0>1805<0>2239<0>2700<0>2700<0>1117<0>1117<0>1031<0>998<0>1441<0>3404<0>2930<0>2538<0>1277<0>234<0>2354<0>1703<0>1846<0>2176<0>920<0>1455<0>1649<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>20... |
During his years as bishop, Ambrose so completely put his Nicene stamp on Milan, that by the mid-380s, the Aryan minority in the city, including the Empress Justina and the Emperor Valentinian II, literally had no place to worship. | <0>3837<0>2129<0>1157<0>2208<0>403<0>368<0>1830<0>926<0>900<0>3695<0>3837<0>543<0>2934<0>3698<0>1723<0>2106<0>2907<0>2239<0>2239<0>2018<0>3832<0>1190<0>2295<0>898<0>2163<0>3927<0>2551<0>2972<0>3927<0>3840<0>2422<0>954<0>1031<0>3132<0>1957<0>2649<0>3131<0>833<0>1331<0>3906<0>2152<0>2152<0>3297<0>807<0>3118<0>2199<0>2353... |
Ambrose allowed not a single church in the city to preach anything resembling that heretical Aryan nonsense. | <0>3409<0>3447<0>3404<0>3404<0>3404<0>1978<0>1981<0>1846<0>3404<0>2898<0>432<0>3705<0>72<0>703<0>4074<0>1703<0>3297<0>196<0>2669<0>1436<0>2756<0>432<0>2867<0>1277<0>517<0>103<0>135<0>3123<0>365<0>2625<0>464<0>988<0>1675<0>1370<0>649<0>2646<0>3973<0>3118<0>2152<0>1206<0>1746<0>2152<0>2864<0>1981<0>2152<0>2338<0>1502<0>2... |
This of course greatly annoyed the Empress, until in 386 she asked for a small measure of consideration. | <0>1587<0>3277<0>3277<0>2102<0>2541<0>3277<0>2551<0>196<0>2898<0>1007<0>926<0>196<0>1206<0>3297<0>1157<0>1286<0>2830<0>2927<0>1639<0>443<0>43<0>2354<0>2038<0>2700<0>3237<0>3973<0>3949<0>2152<0>3695<0>1981<0>1442<0>1777<0>475<0>2581<0>2353<0>4074<0>2419<0>3762<0>1205<0>2848<0>1848<0>1634<0>1007<0>3695<0>2354<0>1883<0>23... |
Arianism was heresy and wasn't going to get a platform so long as Ambrose was Bishop of Milan. | <0>2307<0>3118<0>3404<0>3439<0>3297<0>3837<0>3840<0>3840<0>1026<0>3869<0>580<0>1370<0>2354<0>4028<0>1377<0>4095<0>2239<0>2700<0>2700<0>1442<0>2178<0>1370<0>2016<0>196<0>1883<0>3642<0>289<0>3695<0>1620<0>443<0>1370<0>1362<0>165<0>3151<0>2548<0>1649<0>1857<0>5<0>1488<0>3151<0>294<0>63<0>2325<0>553<0>954<0>2339<0>3579<0>1... |
So then a Praetorian prefect came round to talk sensibly with Ambrose and said, look, maybe just give her the one in the suburbs, the so-called portion basilica. That would be all right, wouldn't it? But again, Ambrose refused. | <0>1026<0>1309<0>1157<0>2295<0>2799<0>1777<0>2221<0>898<0>3439<0>196<0>2799<0>926<0>1855<0>3377<0>3883<0>2038<0>2838<0>3297<0>614<0>165<0>1442<0>3297<0>4062<0>3972<0>2221<0>3285<0>3927<0>2152<0>3695<0>3840<0>2339<0>1168<0>3579<0>1059<0>2683<0>2178<0>3579<0>2338<0>2152<0>3837<0>3927<0>3935<0>2626<0>1883<0>1639<0>2551<0>... |
This annoyed the Empress so much that she had Valentinian order a contingent of house guards down to the Basilica in question to just take it by force. | <0>3837<0>3592<0>1547<0>454<0>2543<0>3404<0>256<0>1206<0>1848<0>649<0>2178<0>175<0>348<0>276<0>2972<0>3927<0>3695<0>3404<0>1883<0>2178<0>432<0>1301<0>3540<0>290<0>353<0>3762<0>1199<0>530<0>390<0>2152<0>553<0>2353<0>1190<0>1648<0>279<0>1777<0>3180<0>3837<0>3143<0>2152<0>3297<0>3642<0>614<0>1488<0>3404<0>3840<0>2656<0>17... |
These guards entered the church and began hanging up Arian decorations in preparation for an Arian Easter service when word got out of what was happening. | <0>755<0>1547<0>3832<0>3695<0>1883<0>3404<0>867<0>3695<0>3642<0>1117<0>1667<0>2440<0>1370<0>2338<0>3832<0>3642<0>3297<0>2353<0>3118<0>807<0>2161<0>3968<0>3297<0>3297<0>3079<0>1267<0>2278<0>2648<0>552<0>3328<0>290<0>3052<0>1973<0>1370<0>2656<0>2848<0>0<0>290<0>2338<0>135<0>2178<0>1136<0>3120<0>1649<0>2178<0>2393<0>1723<... |
Pretty soon Ambrose's Nicene congregation showed up at the scene and began violently agitating against the occupation of the church. | <0>1331<0>3082<0>1042<0>3927<0>679<0>3093<0>3118<0>2375<0>3404<0>3404<0>3277<0>517<0>2769<0>3642<0>553<0>3927<0>2152<0>3297<0>2221<0>1981<0>1370<0>2815<0>3439<0>2848<0>2959<0>1059<0>2009<0>1639<0>3579<0>3018<0>3386<0>1578<0>1300<0>684<0>1277<0>955<0>1541<0>1541<0>3173<0>3095<0>807<0>386<0>3118<0>3297<0>1442<0>2648<0>29... |
Then a small group of them pushed their way in, pushed out the guards, and blockaded the door. So now we have a full blown situation. | <0>234<0>1773<0>1150<0>3297<0>3592<0>1031<0>2921<0>484<0>3840<0>446<0>1007<0>3382<0>2745<0>2339<0>1883<0>1846<0>2864<0>234<0>2178<0>2178<0>2178<0>1649<0>3404<0>1658<0>1830<0>807<0>1981<0>2054<0>3021<0>3114<0>1277<0>196<0>3237<0>2700<0>2700<0>3310<0>1649<0>1007<0>1042<0>1162<0>2221<0>1883<0>1649<0>1762<0>3798<0>1569<0>2... |
Ambrose himself stayed away from the scene, but made it known that he fully supported the expulsion of the Aryans. | <0>1542<0>1525<0>2898<0>279<0>3404<0>3832<0>3180<0>3927<0>3840<0>1846<0>1578<0>1552<0>1011<0>1654<0>2020<0>2176<0>1494<0>1973<0>1639<0>2178<0>1578<0>1300<0>3123<0>2398<0>3299<0>2239<0>2700<0>196<0>3840<0>2422<0>2099<0>3297<0>900<0>36<0>3681<0>361<0>2312<0>2178<0>2178<0>3697<0>3386<0>1206<0>978<0>3695<0>1883<0>779<0>383... |
The various imperial officials, knowing full well that Ambrose could put a stop to it all if he wanted to, came around to broker a deal, but the bishop refused to compromise. | <0>2921<0>679<0>657<0>469<0>1275<0>3555<0>3832<0>1214<0>2748<0>3987<0>475<0>2669<0>1618<0>4028<0>2419<0>4028<0>2020<0>2020<0>1671<0>1981<0>1441<0>3297<0>1310<0>2199<0>2123<0>2123<0>2286<0>1370<0>3151<0>2178<0>3029<0>531<0>30<0>1219<0>3579<0>4028<0>1552<0>3134<0>5<0>1675<0>1578<0>446<0>2081<0>1136<0>771<0>4028<0>1639<0>... |
Eventually, with a hostile mob overwhelming the outnumbered Imperial troops, Justina relented and ordered her men to withdraw. | <0>2420<0>3987<0>3131<0>4028<0>2034<0>3297<0>3840<0>1883<0>1883<0>1218<0>1857<0>1883<0>1441<0>1488<0>1192<0>1649<0>998<0>3840<0>1981<0>1883<0>1219<0>592<0>2675<0>684<0>294<0>3697<0>2575<0>1883<0>998<0>1168<0>3516<0>2178<0>3516<0>1688<0>3132<0>2730<0>2054<0>614<0>2354<0>3404<0>954<0>1639<0>1578<0>3762<0>2700<0>3237<0>27... |
The Bishop of Milan had just stared down the Empress and won. | <0>234<0>2034<0>3447<0>3832<0>1319<0>3404<0>1303<0>3962<0>1883<0>1981<0>614<0>1639<0>1675<0>3052<0>2137<0>724<0>1855<0>807<0>3927<0>3665<0>3663<0>3404<0>29<0>1007<0>2178<0>3123<0>2626<0>3642<0>611<0>175<0>2355<0>1578<0>3762<0>3325<0>391<0>614<0>2092<0>2548<0>196<0>1632<0>1632<0>1031<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0... |
I imagine that his success on that day bolstered his confidence to the point that when the time came, he felt no fear about getting into a staring contest with an emperor. | <0>1857<0>1525<0>1007<0>3899<0>3314<0>2769<0>546<0>954<0>3123<0>2185<0>1306<0>3176<0>2152<0>3695<0>1261<0>1880<0>807<0>1603<0>3579<0>1639<0>2054<0>196<0>2338<0>2393<0>3299<0>543<0>2700<0>3237<0>1989<0>3299<0>871<0>2541<0>3563<0>1857<0>3277<0>2804<0>2152<0>2769<0>2972<0>1883<0>1883<0>2626<0>2815<0>234<0>2972<0>326<0>234... |
And not a boy emperor like Valentinian II, or a malleable young emperor like Gratian. | <0>1117<0>2934<0>1902<0>1620<0>1277<0>2123<0>3404<0>3194<0>324<0>1639<0>2178<0>1370<0>771<0>552<0>1219<0>2178<0>2178<0>906<0>3041<0>172<0>234<0>1578<0>446<0>2908<0>3310<0>432<0>1277<0>23<0>2683<0>390<0>443<0>3982<0>3579<0>1277<0>30<0>1973<0>3642<0>1671<0>614<0>2675<0>2566<0>3123<0>2178<0>324<0>552<0>1639<0>2178<0>1762<... |
While these religious controversies swirled, the three imperial centers of the empire continued to maneuver around one another politically. | <0>2499<0>1007<0>1180<0>1218<0>3555<0>3993<0>326<0>279<0>1020<0>1957<0>2152<0>3239<0>2221<0>3404<0>978<0>2338<0>2338<0>1578<0>1701<0>1578<0>2762<0>207<0>68<0>545<0>2548<0>614<0>2239<0>4095<0>3626<0>2543<0>326<0>3404<0>2485<0>88<0>2191<0>83<0>291<0>1883<0>1594<0>3642<0>690<0>2338<0>175<0>3697<0>2615<0>611<0>1639<0>3246<... |
The Maximus kept working toward full recognition. The Valentinian II, or at least the high officials of his court, | <0>2191<0>2748<0>1042<0>1857<0>3370<0>807<0>326<0>807<0>3882<0>1117<0>3135<0>2191<0>289<0>3297<0>1331<0>3982<0>1973<0>2211<0>3982<0>998<0>1846<0>710<0>2627<0>1277<0>3328<0>1494<0>103<0>1502<0>3307<0>2239<0>1614<0>3237<0>2700<0>3237<0>3097<0>679<0>2151<0>3404<0>3837<0>3968<0>3297<0>3297<0>3297<0>3910<0>446<0>2137<0>3733... |
Kept working to maintain their independence in the face not only of the threat posed by Maximus in the north, but also the threat by Theodosius. | <0>2569<0>746<0>490<0>1117<0>3135<0>2191<0>3297<0>3837<0>3297<0>954<0>1654<0>1238<0>3565<0>1654<0>2185<0>3516<0>3284<0>3328<0>234<0>2700<0>3668<0>3118<0>3342<0>3438<0>2538<0>1245<0>2023<0>426<0>978<0>1846<0>3194<0>1578<0>3018<0>2700<0>1442<0>3592<0>3899<0>2898<0>3150<0>926<0>3297<0>2176<0>326<0>175<0>2648<0>1520<0>175<... |
At any moment, the Eastern Augustus might decide to step in and declare himself the protector of Valentinian II. | <0>3388<0>2151<0>494<0>3437<0>3060<0>1238<0>3404<0>1981<0>196<0>234<0>2239<0>2239<0>2239<0>1915<0>679<0>1501<0>3880<0>3832<0>1042<0>3082<0>3439<0>628<0>175<0>3665<0>1578<0>2338<0>1111<0>2626<0>3840<0>934<0>1136<0>3579<0>2566<0>517<0>1578<0>2459<0>3377<0>998<0>724<0>1688<0>3973<0>1243<0>2293<0>4007<0>3642<0>3297<0>1434<... |
Which would be nothing more than a polite way of saying that Valentinian's days as an independent emperor were over. | <0>998<0>3974<0>3902<0>1117<0>3840<0>954<0>2099<0>289<0>289<0>29<0>3300<0>1016<0>1016<0>690<0>1007<0>2921<0>3297<0>3297<0>2092<0>1488<0>3516<0>2312<0>2178<0>3052<0>2178<0>321<0>4035<0>3075<0>3918<0>552<0>4028<0>3665<0>1015<0>2388<0>2099<0>1732<0>1287<0>1287<0>1287<0>2802<0>2185<0>840<0>3404<0>3180<0>361<0>2353<0>3297<0... |
In the east meanwhile, Theodosius kept working methodically to ensure the stability and safety of his provinces so that he could go face down Maximus properly. | <0>1434<0>679<0>1654<0>3353<0>2769<0>491<0>3545<0>1117<0>2185<0>1488<0>3151<0>3579<0>3151<0>2700<0>1025<0>2239<0>2700<0>1538<0>3927<0>2838<0>2662<0>2151<0>3277<0>858<0>2152<0>1301<0>2471<0>443<0>1192<0>1370<0>289<0>196<0>2338<0>3545<0>1883<0>1883<0>807<0>1973<0>3253<0>3328<0>3052<0>2178<0>1486<0>3379<0>256<0>1981<0>196... |
He had not yet answered definitively the question of recognition of Maximus or civil war with Maximus. | <0>2353<0>368<0>1190<0>1381<0>3168<0>1618<0>3414<0>850<0>1010<0>498<0>2716<0>3592<0>3187<0>954<0>517<0>2354<0>3447<0>3642<0>365<0>2338<0>1219<0>1982<0>1502<0>2700<0>2102<0>3377<0>3665<0>1510<0>552<0>1219<0>2211<0>1778<0>684<0>1329<0>3642<0>858<0>1502<0>1639<0>2730<0>1213<0>1205<0>2178<0>432<0>1578<0>3310<0>1989<0>2700<... |
But it was pretty clear that he wanted civil war with Maximus. | <0>1805<0>2980<0>234<0>2404<0>3132<0>3899<0>166<0>3414<0>210<0>2416<0>30<0>3658<0>1016<0>2193<0>1025<0>4058<0>2353<0>3143<0>703<0>196<0>2548<0>611<0>234<0>2143<0>1578<0>2312<0>2665<0>2566<0>3563<0>3563<0>2548<0>2987<0>432<0>3614<0>1310<0>1973<0>3151<0>2390<0>1578<0>3925<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
In 386, though, Maximus's hoped that Theodosius would wind up choosing recognition. | <0>3642<0>3592<0>279<0>3560<0>850<0>3927<0>516<0>3660<0>1370<0>443<0>443<0>2239<0>1989<0>2700<0>196<0>679<0>1637<0>1991<0>3927<0>229<0>3840<0>2338<0>2338<0>2298<0>1370<0>443<0>1442<0>2799<0>3029<0>2353<0>546<0>1846<0>1973<0>1723<0>4044<0>1331<0>3840<0>3906<0>3212<0>2239<0>1219<0>2339<0>2541<0>2922<0>2152<0>1567<0>3166<... |
Was raised by the appearance on the north bank of the Danube of an armed force of Gurtungai Goths. | <0>4052<0>3135<0>3277<0>2921<0>1902<0>1010<0>946<0>326<0>3210<0>196<0>2151<0>1957<0>1957<0>792<0>2747<0>3509<0>3509<0>3359<0>3695<0>3840<0>3297<0>3297<0>2123<0>2221<0>1031<0>3642<0>3297<0>1442<0>2092<0>1376<0>1701<0>2927<0>365<0>3057<0>3798<0>2700<0>3237<0>2239<0>2700<0>1331<0>2034<0>1639<0>2548<0>2898<0>611<0>1857<0>1... |
In a scene eerily reminiscent of the events of 376, the Grudungi were demanding that they be allowed to settle in Roman territory, just as their cousins had been allowed to settle a few years before. | <0>2353<0>2152<0>3927<0>3927<0>3585<0>1007<0>2627<0>1069<0>166<0>2748<0>840<0>3618<0>289<0>1981<0>256<0>679<0>1206<0>1224<0>2338<0>1502<0>1639<0>3697<0>4073<0>2338<0>2799<0>1545<0>4028<0>5<0>2687<0>2034<0>1855<0>4044<0>2178<0>3307<0>3720<0>4074<0>3286<0>2987<0>2354<0>1019<0>955<0>3147<0>1376<0>2676<0>425<0>2156<0>791<0... |
With said cousins already causing formidable administrative and security headaches for Theodosius though, the thought of even more Goths settling in the empire drove the emperor to fits. | <0>1117<0>807<0>254<0>2239<0>2547<0>3927<0>1469<0>365<0>3477<0>2221<0>3840<0>3297<0>3837<0>2921<0>2548<0>2865<0>521<0>1981<0>2595<0>684<0>2191<0>1136<0>1370<0>2338<0>3328<0>614<0>978<0>3748<0>1441<0>94<0>954<0>2324<0>1117<0>2499<0>2499<0>212<0>3973<0>3798<0>546<0>2152<0>1857<0>1026<0>3401<0>3194<0>3297<0>614<0>1899<0>2... |
The Gathungai petitioners were told that they would indeed be allowed to settle in the Empire. | <0>679<0>2922<0>3277<0>1777<0>771<0>3536<0>1535<0>692<0>2298<0>3132<0>546<0>838<0>3162<0>2419<0>2338<0>175<0>1370<0>2972<0>1902<0>3701<0>2020<0>234<0>2239<0>196<0>2152<0>3935<0>690<0>1007<0>1577<0>2769<0>1206<0>703<0>1206<0>2099<0>2581<0>1955<0>1370<0>2178<0>5<0>517<0>2265<0>270<0>1219<0>1219<0>294<0>1011<0>954<0>3299<... |
But once they were in their rafts and crossing over the river?

The imperial fleet manning the Danube suddenly attacked.

In 387, Maximus' hope for recognition was dashed for good. | <0>1674<0>679<0>3143<0>1157<0>2698<0>2507<0>2440<0>1703<0>1846<0>196<0>3297<0>2700<0>2239<0>3762<0>2921<0>679<0>1371<0>2440<0>3927<0>679<0>3277<0>3277<0>1857<0>3840<0>1370<0>1978<0>3135<0>1981<0>1303<0>2815<0>324<0>2419<0>1849<0>1168<0>2338<0>2338<0>729<0>3642<0>746<0>2354<0>2338<0>2178<0>1756<0>3579<0>1502<0>3299<0>38... |
When Roman ambassadors return from a final round of talks with the Sassanids, treaty in hand. | <0>3237<0>4007<0>1007<0>3297<0>1981<0>3404<0>3840<0>3472<0>229<0>3642<0>3695<0>1857<0>3837<0>3840<0>3131<0>2972<0>2034<0>1610<0>3377<0>3840<0>679<0>2221<0>954<0>3642<0>3720<0>1578<0>1618<0>3840<0>3783<0>545<0>2531<0>1168<0>2338<0>5<0>3246<0>3151<0>3151<0>1960<0>2705<0>207<0>5<0>1578<0>63<0>454<0>1370<0>2178<0>1639<0>12... |
I haven't been able to find a good way to slip this bit in yet, so I'm just going to sort of wedge it in right now. | <0>1857<0>3447<0>1956<0>507<0>1022<0>386<0>3249<0>1981<0>3150<0>2221<0>807<0>289<0>1277<0>3131<0>954<0>2020<0>2595<0>172<0>2354<0>934<0>2511<0>880<0>2769<0>1578<0>1632<0>1624<0>2903<0>1394<0>4095<0>3574<0>3642<0>4007<0>2700<0>1578<0>2436<0>2541<0>1569<0>679<0>3277<0>1857<0>1981<0>475<0>3143<0>2626<0>2054<0>2178<0>2178<... |
But the Persian king the Roman ambassadors dealt with now was Shapur III. | <0>1031<0>2799<0>3840<0>1031<0>3404<0>2834<0>3777<0>3168<0>1746<0>3118<0>3297<0>954<0>1762<0>2338<0>954<0>679<0>1277<0>3403<0>3403<0>1578<0>1951<0>649<0>5<0>3120<0>3543<0>2020<0>2338<0>1074<0>807<0>679<0>3579<0>1649<0>2700<0>2239<0>1805<0>2700<0>998<0>3135<0>1020<0>3277<0>276<0>1510<0>858<0>1675<0>1219<0>4008<0>2510<0>... |

Anyway, I note the passing of Shapur II, because man, that guy has been an on-again, off-again boogeyman of the Romans, since he was first provoked by Constantine the Great, way back in 336. | <0>2390<0>746<0>2152<0>1981<0>2357<0>2929<0>4019<0>2239<0>1219<0>2748<0>3118<0>746<0>2339<0>1031<0>2921<0>1777<0>2748<0>1594<0>3297<0>1117<0>3832<0>779<0>1675<0>3135<0>3840<0>3840<0>934<0>3991<0>3477<0>3299<0>2700<0>2239<0>3973<0>2152<0>3695<0>3840<0>196<0>807<0>3118<0>807<0>3837<0>3147<0>2193<0>2626<0>679<0>2151<0>123... |
He rightfully deserves his place in the pantheon of all time great enemies of the Roman Empire, and may he rest in peace. | <0>4086<0>361<0>1981<0>1010<0>1501<0>446<0>1883<0>1957<0>546<0>3840<0>2626<0>3840<0>1830<0>2152<0>326<0>3151<0>1370<0>1855<0>1578<0>2178<0>276<0>1944<0>3439<0>679<0>3837<0>3642<0>2221<0>2324<0>1031<0>1538<0>1025<0>2178<0>443<0>2548<0>3962<0>2123<0>2535<0>1007<0>1981<0>361<0>611<0>628<0>289<0>3419<0>1578<0>2105<0>1277<0... |
So the ambassadors returned with a bad deal for Rome, but a good deal for Theodosius right at that moment. | <0>3832<0>1309<0>1547<0>2748<0>3404<0>1535<0>1857<0>630<0>840<0>1230<0>3404<0>3277<0>3377<0>3404<0>954<0>3297<0>147<0>2176<0>3782<0>3180<0>3697<0>1370<0>2338<0>2799<0>443<0>1192<0>3579<0>797<0>3239<0>611<0>977<0>2700<0>2324<0>291<0>29<0>2922<0>954<0>2848<0>475<0>2221<0>3705<0>3497<0>1011<0>2581<0>3579<0>3579<0>2128<0>2... |
The Romans agreed to cede four-fifths of Armenia to Sassanid control in exchange for peace. | <0>2921<0>1007<0>1157<0>1902<0>3151<0>2199<0>3131<0>1981<0>1401<0>1206<0>1245<0>517<0>3660<0>1206<0>289<0>3239<0>3166<0>2146<0>1441<0>2548<0>2191<0>2440<0>3695<0>3663<0>2105<0>1199<0>1552<0>3579<0>1192<0>1192<0>1639<0>3297<0>3297<0>826<0>432<0>389<0>1578<0>389<0>3832<0>1883<0>2898<0>3124<0>4028<0>3328<0>1213<0>1192<0>1... |
The deal may have been a crappy one, but it gave Theodosius the peace he wanted. | <0>3840<0>1452<0>2698<0>727<0>3982<0>492<0>901<0>679<0>1434<0>807<0>2221<0>3671<0>1902<0>1639<0>1899<0>2675<0>3579<0>1639<0>2239<0>2700<0>2018<0>3147<0>3237<0>1649<0>2799<0>900<0>2099<0>1547<0>900<0>2507<0>3109<0>3284<0>2581<0>2581<0>1370<0>4028<0>3825<0>2404<0>5<0>2193<0>437<0>1377<0>3219<0>1849<0>3328<0>2178<0>1488<0... |
And it broke the Imperial stalemate that had defined the Empire for five years. | <0>3097<0>3642<0>3642<0>871<0>1007<0>3404<0>1734<0>2335<0>3297<0>954<0>1562<0>475<0>1981<0>1857<0>4044<0>1453<0>2312<0>443<0>3426<0>324<0>2589<0>2239<0>1376<0>3466<0>1329<0>1213<0>1192<0>2566<0>4028<0>1552<0>1981<0>3404<0>2388<0>3297<0>1501<0>3695<0>1502<0>1639<0>1974<0>3991<0>1136<0>1455<0>3052<0>1578<0>3151<0>1136<0>... |
Theodosius was now free to move on Maximus, and everyone knew it, which changed the whole equation. | <0>3310<0>553<0>2581<0>3249<0>1639<0>2562<0>1667<0>2178<0>948<0>2239<0>2239<0>2178<0>2338<0>30<0>3404<0>2921<0>3748<0>3404<0>289<0>538<0>196<0>1284<0>234<0>2178<0>3151<0>1639<0>3579<0>2756<0>1310<0>1578<0>1639<0>2170<0>1578<0>2700<0>2239<0>2239<0>2239<0>2700<0>2004<0>1199<0>1873<0>840<0>3131<0>1981<0>3840<0>289<0>1442<... |
As soon as he found out about the deal, Maximus knew he could no longer afford to sit back and hope for a peaceful resolution. | <0>1224<0>746<0>2284<0>2922<0>3832<0>1206<0>3695<0>3404<0>1434<0>2541<0>2339<0>1680<0>3246<0>2499<0>3609<0>3253<0>1488<0>2004<0>1989<0>3310<0>1031<0>679<0>1469<0>1959<0>3695<0>2152<0>1545<0>3328<0>3297<0>1671<0>1494<0>1899<0>289<0>196<0>3297<0>3840<0>1846<0>2669<0>2548<0>1488<0>5<0>2338<0>1578<0>3982<0>2178<0>3808<0>15... |
So near the end of 387, he mobilized his forces and drove them south into Italy, blowing through the garrisons protecting the Alpine passes. | <0>3497<0>1469<0>3404<0>2575<0>196<0>1206<0>475<0>2848<0>1011<0>2152<0>3297<0>2199<0>2199<0>1007<0>1011<0>926<0>1295<0>4044<0>3579<0>1639<0>1639<0>2239<0>2700<0>3466<0>3052<0>1701<0>294<0>954<0>1846<0>2669<0>2123<0>3404<0>3408<0>1857<0>538<0>2152<0>1578<0>1488<0>1370<0>2143<0>3798<0>517<0>2700<0>2700<0>2239<0>3642<0>12... |
Valentinian's advisors determined that Maximus' army was too strong and coming too fast for them to fight back. | <0>2921<0>652<0>1973<0>562<0>746<0>2922<0>368<0>2152<0>1020<0>3626<0>1902<0>1981<0>1578<0>2927<0>4028<0>234<0>1578<0>1370<0>2054<0>1982<0>2566<0>196<0>2152<0>196<0>679<0>900<0>3187<0>3277<0>679<0>1211<0>2152<0>2921<0>3151<0>2054<0>552<0>2178<0>2404<0>283<0>2848<0>679<0>679<0>770<0>1778<0>1192<0>443<0>611<0>701<0>3328<0... |
So they packed up and fled for the protection of Theodosius' court. | <0>1989<0>3695<0>3297<0>1434<0>1804<0>644<0>2868<0>1542<0>1846<0>1117<0>3840<0>978<0>1370<0>3579<0>978<0>3239<0>2178<0>2338<0>1899<0>2648<0>1849<0>1667<0>432<0>3043<0>1300<0>1377<0>3579<0>978<0>1573<0>5<0>1667<0>2551<0>1192<0>321<0>210<0>3052<0>1031<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
There was still a lingering fear that Theodosius might take this opportunity to essentially depose young Valentinian, but that was a risk they were going to have to take. | <0>3837<0>3987<0>1230<0>3927<0>1880<0>2949<0>3840<0>2339<0>3135<0>3297<0>1007<0>1007<0>3299<0>103<0>1494<0>3253<0>1277<0>2921<0>3497<0>1206<0>2581<0>1370<0>4028<0>1132<0>3665<0>2054<0>3404<0>1434<0>3164<0>1123<0>1206<0>3686<0>3904<0>1578<0>3151<0>2987<0>2178<0>2354<0>2419<0>1277<0>2088<0>3464<0>3123<0>4028<0>2338<0>157... |
Next week, we will see that their fears were misguided. Far from wanting to depose Valentinian. | <0>1238<0>2375<0>900<0>2354<0>2626<0>1957<0>440<0>3545<0>2700<0>349<0>3097<0>3135<0>2922<0>2123<0>2921<0>2762<0>2848<0>2485<0>3131<0>147<0>3935<0>3404<0>3166<0>703<0>1011<0>2531<0>2595<0>2191<0>3786<0>1370<0>1502<0>3041<0>2390<0>2038<0>1974<0>3991<0>3386<0>2178<0>390<0>2239<0>3237<0>3237<0>3237<0>3147<0>3237<0>3147<0>3... |
