He established his rule in Gaul and made Trier his capital, forcing Gratian to flee and eventually be killed. His bid for legitimacy ultimately failed when he was defeated by Theodosius I in 388 CE. Magnus Maximus is often remembered as a key figure in the growing instability of the late Western Empire, especially in Britain and Gaul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NumisMall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51358662983995,"sku":"x5823-61482","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/1750\/6710\/files\/w61492.jpg?v=1781666178","url":"https:\/\/www.numismall.com\/products\/ae4-of-magnus-maximus-383-388-ce-arelate-roman-empire","provider":"NumisMall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
