Theodosius was the Eastern Roman Emperor reigning from 408 to 450 AD. He was a son and successor of Arcadius (383-408). He allowed his government to be run by a succession of relatives and ministers.
At various times during his reign, Theodosius sent armies against the Vandals of Africa, the Persians, and the Huns. He is mostly known for promulgating the Theodosian law code, and for construction of the Theodosian Walls of Constantinople.
