Born around 377 to Theodosius I and Aelia Flaccilla, Arcadius was named Augustus at six and inherited the eastern half of the Roman Empire when his father died in 395. His brother Honorius took the west. From Constantinople, Arcadius presided over an administration effectively controlled by others - first by powerful ministers, then by his wife Aelia Eudoxia. Contemporaries saw him as a weak emperor, a figurehead whose reign was shaped by the ambitions of those around him. He died on 1 May 408, having ruled for a quarter-century without ever mastering it.
