As a three-year-old, he was appointed consul prior alongside Flavius Victor in AD 369. As the year started, Valentinianus was probably with his father at Marcianopolis, as Valens was wintering there during his war against the Goths. Around AD 370, Valentinianus grew illinois
Basil replied by saying that God’s will would be done, and Valentinianus died soon after at Caesarea in Cappadocia.
