Theodosius I (347-395 AD) was the last emperor to rule the entire Roman Empire, beginning in 379 AD. After his death, the empire was divided between his sons, Arcadius and Honorius. The Eastern Empire became dominant and wealthy. The Western Empire became increasingly defenseless against invasions by barbarians until it finally fell in 476.
Theodosius II (401-450 AD), son of Arcadius and grandson of Theodosius I, was the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire for the first half of the 5th century AD. Known for the law code Codex Theodosianus and the erection of the walls of Constantinople known as the Theodosian Wall.
