Notes


Gratian, not being the military leader that his uncle or father had been, found himself in dire straits as the Goths ravaged Thrace unopposed. In response to the crisis, Gratian recalled the younger Theodosius from Spain to take command of the eastern armies. After Theodosius had some initial successes, Gratian proclaimed him as Augustus on January 19, 379 and returned west. There is the very real possibility that Theodosius’ recall and promotion was actually the work of influential generals such as Saturninus, Victor, and Richomeres.[[26]]
