The Valentinian Dynasty or Valentinianic Dynasty,[1][2][3] 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 ofTheodosius I of the East to Valentinian I's daughter. From this marriage cameGalla Placidia,[4] 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.
