Valentinian I
c. 321 CE–c. 375 CE · Vinkovci
Valentinian I (r. 364-375), founder of the Valentinianic dynasty, ruled the West and defended the Rhine and Danube frontiers against the Alamanni, Quadi and Sarmatians, sharing the empire with his brother Valens, whom he installed over the East. A Nicene Christian, he is noted for a policy of broad religious toleration: Julian's edict barring Christians from teaching classical literature lapsed under his regime, while pagan worship continued to be permitted. After he banned nocturnal sacrifices in 364, he reportedly withdrew the prohibition for the Eleusinian Mysteries following an appeal by the proconsul Praetextatus, and he is recorded as having persecuted neither Jews nor rival Christian factions such as the Arians.
