Chapter X.—Birth of
Valentinian the Younger.
Soon after the conclusion of
this war, and under the same consulate,589
589Sozomen (VI. 10) says the same. There were two
Valentinians in the second generation; one a son of Valens, and another
the son of Valentinian the Elder. According to Idatius’
Fasti, it was the former that was born during the consulate of
Gratian and Dagalaifus; so that Socrates was in error here, confusing
perhaps the two younger Valentinians. Valesius adduces other reasons
proving the same, which it is unnecessary to repeat here.

a son was born to Valentinian, the emperor in the Western parts, to
whom the same name as his father’s was given. For Gratian had
been born previously to his becoming emperor.
