Valentinianus Galates
Valentinianus Galates (Greek: Ούαλεντινιανός Γαλάτης, 18 January 366 – c. 370) was the only son of the Roman emperor Valens, who ruled the Roman Empire from 364 to 378. Born into the ruling Valentinianic dynasty, Galates became Roman consul in 369, but he died in early childhood, and the empire passed to the descendants of Valentinian I, Galates's uncle, whom he was named after.
