Emperor in the western Roman empire. He was a Spanish general stationed in Britain before he was proclaimed emperor by his British troops, defeated Gratian, son of Valentinian I, in Gaul and usurped the Roman throne in 383. While Britain, Gaul, Spain and the province of Africa came under his control, his opponents launched counter-attacks and in 388, he was defeated and killed.
