Theodosius and the Last Years of Roman Unification - The Pax Romana Podcast 100
About this episode
This episode discusses the reign of Flavius Theodosius and the last years of Roman unification.
On January 19, AD 379, at Sirmium, a Latin-speaking westerner from Spain named Flavius Theodosius was invested with the imperial purple. He was a man for the times but, in many ways, a man out of place; he was expected to rule a Greek-speaking East and a church deeply fractured by doctrinal disputes. His reign, spanning nearly sixteen years, would see him outlive his imperial colleagues and briefly, yet significantly, unify the Roman Empire under his sole rule for the last time in history.
