Valentinian Dynasty

The Valentinian Dynasty or Valentinianic Dynasty, consisting of four emperors, ruled the Western Roman Empire from 364 to 392 and the Eastern Roman Empire from 364 to 378.

  • Western emperors:
    • Valentinian I (364-375)
    • his sons Gratian (375-383) and Valentinian II (375-392)
  • Eastern emperor(s):
    • Valentinian I's brother Valens (364-378)
    • Valentinian's daughter's husband Theodosius I

The dynasty was related to the Theodosian dynasty by the marriage of Theodosius I of the East to Valentinian I's daughter. From this marriage came Galla Placidia, whose son Valentinian III became the western emperor (425-455), the last ruler descended from either dynasty. His descendants continued to be a part of the Roman nobility in Constantinople until the end of the 6th century.
