the way the valentinian and theodosian dynasties intermarried gives me a headache, so we'll just (hand waving) the marriage of licinia eudoxia and valentinian iii, also some normal ribbing between theodosius ii and valentinian iii

can you believe that we got another set of co-emperors with the theodosius-valentinian name set after the absolute disaster of the first pair? incredible!

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / tip jar!

#so. licinia and valentinian iii were bethrothed to each other when they were respectively two and four yrs old #valentinian iii and theodosius ii are half cousins #the way that the family branches intermarried gives me a headache but ESPECIALLY when i see the valentinian name #show up on the theodosian half of the tree. like what are you DOING there.#later roman empire tag #drawing tag
