The Valentinian Dynasty, consisting of four emperors, ruled the Western Roman Empire from 364 to 392 and the Eastern Roman Empire from 364 to 378.

  • western emperors:
  • the eastern emperor(s):
    • Valentinian I's brother Valens (364-378).
    • Valentinian's daughter's husband Theodosius I

The dynasty was related to the House of Theodosius by the marriage of Theodosius I of the East (379-395) to Valentinian I's daughter. From this marriage came Galla Placidia, whose son Valentinian III became the western emperor (425-455), the last ruler descended from either dynasty. His descendants continued to be a part of the Roman nobility in Constantinople until the end of the sixth century.
