Sign in to saveemperor of the Western Roman Empire (419-455)
AI overview
Valentinian III was a Roman emperor who ruled the western half of the Roman Empire from 419 to 455, a period when the empire was declining and facing increasing pressure from Germanic tribes and internal instability. He matters historically because his reign marked a critical period in the fall of the Western Roman Empire, as the central authority weakened and the empire eventually collapsed just a few years after his death.
