Peace Of Acilisene
The Peace of Acilisene was a treaty between the Eastern Roman Empire under Theodosius I and the Sasanian Empire under Shapur III, which was resolved in 384 and again in 387. Terms The treaty, resolved in 384 and later in 387, divided Kingdom of Armenia between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire. The Sassanids received the larger share called Persarmenia, while the Romans retained Sophene and a smaller portion of Armenia (called Lesser Armenia). This also created a new boundary line between the two empires, running from Erzurum to Mush. Through this treaty, the Eastern Roman Empire admitted the loss of the Kingdom of Iberia to the Sasanians. During this period, Sassanian influence grew once again in eastern Georgia, and Zoroastrianism spread as far as Tbilisi, becoming "something like a second established religion of Iberia" until around mid-fifth century.

Serena (wife Of Stilicho)
Serena (died 409) was a member of the Theodosian dynasty as the niece of the emperor Theodosius I, as well as the wife of the military commander Stilicho. Family Serena was the daughter of Honorius, the brother of Theodosius I and son of Theodosius the Elder, and her mother's name is presumed to be Maria. She had an elder sister named Thermantia. Serena's father died prior to 379, after which she was adopted by her uncle Theodosius. Around the year 384, she was married to the general Stilicho. The poet Claudian stated that the union had been arranged by Theodosius due to Stilicho's military capability, but some modern scholars have disputed this. Their arguments contend that as Stilicho was relatively undistinguished at the time, it is more likely that Serena herself had chosen to marry the general. The couple had a son, Eucherius, and two daughters, Maria and Thermantia, respectively the first and second wives of the emperor Honorius. Life A resident at the court of Ho ...
