Valentinian selects his brother Valens as co-Augustus at Constantinople on March 28, 364, over the objections of Dagalaifus, the magister equitum.
Ammianus makes it clear that Valens was subordinate to his brother.
The remainder of 364 will be spent delegating administrative duties and military commands.
Valentinian retains the services of Dagalaifus and promotes Aequitius to Comes Illyricum.
Valens is given the Prefecture of Oriens, governed by prefect Salutius.
Valentinian gains control of Italy, Gaul, Africa, and Illyricum.
Valens resides in Constantinople, while Valentinian’s court is at Milan.
