Gratian, 24 August 367 - 25 August 383 A.D.
|Gratian|, |Gratian,| |24| |August| |367| |-| |25| |August| |383| |A.D.|, In 367, in the Great Conspiracy, the Roman garrison on Hadrian's Wall revolted and allowed Picts from Caledonia to devastate Britain. Simultaneously Attacotti, the Scotti from Hibernia (Ireland), and the Saxons from Germania invaded the island's mid-western and south-eastern borders. They sacked the cities and murdered, raped and enslaved Romano-British civilians and in 368 plundered Londinium. In 368, General Theodosius arrived in Britannia with a relief force to deal with the invaders. In Winter 368, the barbarians were driven back to their homelands, the Hadrian's Wall was retaken. Theodosius reorganized the abandoned forts and mounted punitive expeditions in Hibernia (Ireland). By 369, Theodosius had fully recovered Britain for the empire.
