Something wrong?A Roman emperor who renounced the gods.

Gratian became Augustus at eight, son of Valentinian I, and inherited the Western Empire at sixteen in 375 alongside his infant half-brother Valentinian II. He led a campaign across the Rhine, crushed the Lentienses, and forced their surrender. When his uncle Valens died at Adrianople in 378, Gratian elevated Theodosius to rule the East the following year. He then turned against Rome's ancestral religion: he refused the ancient office of pontifex maximus, co-issued the Edict of Thessalonica enforcing Nicene Christianity, and had the Altar of Victory removed from the Senate house. By 383 his soldiers had soured on him. When the usurper Magnus Maximus confronted him near Paris, the army deserted and Gratian fled south to Lyon, where he was murdered.
