Background |
| |
The eldest son of Aelia Eudoxia and Eastern Emperor Arcadius, Theodosius was heavily influenced by his eldest sister Pulcheria, who pushed him away from Roman Christianity towards Eastern Christianity. |
| |
Pulcheria was the primary driving power behind the emperor and many of her views became official policy. These included her anti-Semitic view which resulted in the destruction of synagogues. He ordered the execution of Gamaliel VI, the Nasi of the Jewish Sanhedrin in 425 for authorising the building of new synagogues, and abolished the office. |
| |
On the death of his father Arcadius in 408, Theodosius became emperor. Because of his minority however, real power was exercised by the praetorian prefect of the East Anthemius until his dismissal in 414. It was under Anthemius' supervision that the Theodosian land walls of Constantinople were constructed. |
| |
In June 421, Theodosius married the poet Aelia Eudocia. They had a daughter, Licinia Eudoxia, whose marriage with the Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III marked the re-unification of the two halves of the Empire, even if for a short time. |
