FOUND IN BRITAIN. 323 



Vicarius. His acTmiaistration of Britain may be placed in A.D. 353, 

 as in Mon. Hist. Brit., p. 139 ; Ilorsley, however, gives A.D. 355. 



In xxiii.j 1, 2, Alypius is mentioned, "qui olira Britannias cura- 

 verat pro prsefectis." In Mon. Hist. Brit., p. 140, he is placed in 

 A.D. 360, and in Brit. Rom., in A.D. 361; but neither of these dates 

 seems to agree with the word olim, as used by Ammianus Marcellinus 

 in describing an event* that, we know, took place in A.D. 363. From 

 xs., 1, we learn that Lupicinus was sent over with an army to chastise 

 the Picts and Scots. The words consulatu Constantii decies terque 

 Juliani, seem to fix the date to A.D. 360, as given in Mon. Hist. 

 Brit., p. 140; but Horsley prefers A.D. 361. 



The same historian, in xxviii., 8, informs us that Valentinian, having 

 heard of a revolt in Britain, in which Nectaridus, Comes maritimi 

 tractus, was killed, and Fullofaudes, the Dux, was in imminent 

 danger, despatched to the island Severus, who was, at this time. 

 Comes domesticorum ; and it is stated that he sent before him Pro- 

 vertuides to collect an army. On his recall, Jovinus was appointed ; 

 subsequently, on receiving more alarming intelligence, Theodosius 

 (father to Theodosius I.), an officer of high military reputation, was 

 sent over. He subsequently applied for the appointment of Civilis, 

 as Governor {Vicarius), and Dulcitius as General (Dux), and pursued 

 a most successful career for about two years. The missions of Severus 

 and Jovinus may be placed in A.D. 367 ; the arrival of Theodosius 

 in A.D. 368, and his departure in A.D. 370. Horsley, Brit. Rom., 

 places the mission of Severus in A.D. 365 ; that of Jovinus in A.D. 

 366 ; and the arrival of Theodosius in A.D. 367. 



The last notice that we find in Ammianus relative to Britain, is the 

 incidental mention of Fraomarius, king of the Buciuobantes, who 

 was sent into the island potestate tribuni, i.e. as commander of a 

 body of auxiliaries. This may be placed about A.D. 370, as in Brit. 

 Rom., or A.D. 372, as in Mon. Hist. Brit. 



In A.D. 383, the army in Britain proclaimed Maximus Emperor, as 

 we learn from Socrates, v., 11, Zosimus, iv., 35, .5, 7, and Victor, 

 Epit. The last Governor, whose name has been preserved, is Chry- 

 santhus, mentioned by Socrates, i., 2. 



In addition to the Governors already named, we must add those whose 

 dates are unknown, and those whose title to this dignity is doubtful; viz.: 



• The attempt by Julian to rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. Alypitis was placed by th 

 Emperor in charge of the work.
