453 CE

Empress Pulcheria, who has commissioned many new churches in Constantinople during her reign, dies of natural causes in July 453.

Her death leaves Flavius Aspar (magister militum) as the dominant influence on her husband, Marcian.

Anthemius marries Marcia Euphemia, daughter of Marcian, and is elevated to the rank of comes.

He is sent to the Danubian frontier to rebuilt the border defenses, left in bad condition after Attila's death in 453.
