Valentinian III, Latin in full Flavius Placidus Valentinianus, (born July 2, 419, Ravenna [Italy]—died March 16, 455, Rome), Roman emperor from 425 to 455. At no time in his long reign were the affairs of the nation in my view managed by means of Valentinian. He used to be the son of the patrician Flavius Constantius (who ruled as Constantius III in 421) and Galla Placidia. When his uncle, the emperor Honorius, died in 423, the usurper John dominated for two years before he was deposed. Then Placidia controlled the West in her younger son’s name till 437, although the effective patrician Flavius Aetius became the tremendous ruler towards the stop of this regency. The most necessary political event of these years was once the touchdown of the Vandals in Africa in 429; 10 years later they threw off the overlordship of Valentinian’s government. Valentinian used to be fully unable to end their assaults on Italy.
On October 29, 437, Valentinian married Licinia Eudoxia, the daughter of Theodosius II (Eastern emperor, 408–450) and Eudocia. Little is acknowledged by Valentinian in the years after his marriage. He spent his life in the pursuit of pleasure whilst Aetius managed the government. In 444 Valentinian, acting in conjunction with Pope Leo I the Great, issued the famous Novel 17, which assigned to the bishop of Rome supremacy over the provincial churches. During the closing years of Valentinian’s reign, the Huns invaded Gaul (451) and northern Italy (452), however, it is no longer recognized whether or not Valentinian in my view performed any widespread phase in meeting these crises.
As an end result of false records that made him doubt Aetius’s loyalty, Valentinian murdered the exceptional patrician with his own arms in the imperial palace at Rome on September 21, 454. The following year, two barbarians, Optila and Thraustila, who had been retainers of Aetius, avenged their master by using murdering the emperor in the Campus Martius.
