MAXIMUS PROCLAIMED EMPEROR
Magnus Maximus (Latin: Flavius Magnus Maximus Augustus, Welsh: Macsen Wledig) (c.?335August 28,
388) was Western Roman Emperor from 383 to 388.
In 383, as commander of Britain, he usurped the throne against emperor Gratian, and by negotiation with
emperor Theodosius I, he was made emperor in Britannia and Gaul the next year while Gratian's brother
Valentinian II retained Italy, Pannonia, Hispania, and Africa. In 387, Maximus' ambitions led him to invade
Italy, resulting in his defeat by Theodosius I at the Battle of the Save in 388. In the view of some historians,
his death marked the end of direct imperial presence in Northern Gaul and Britain.
