Years: 388 - 388

Theodosius's former general Arbogast, probably of Frankish descent, had risen in the Western Roman army to the rank of magister equitum, or master of the cavalry, and had been sent by the emperor Gratian, in 380, to assist Theodosius against the Goths in Thrace.
He has remained in the service of Theodosius and is now comes (Latin: “count”) and regent for Valentinian II, who is restored to his rule after the overthrow of Maximus, and rules from Vienna (modern Vienne) in Gaul.
In late 388, Arbogast recovers Gaul for Valentinian from Maximus's son, Flavius Victor, who had been proclaimed an Augustus from 384.
Victor's death leaves Valentinian, Theodosius and Arcadius as the sole Augusti in the Empire.
