Theodosius's Civil War

Arbogost and Eugenius's alliance with the pagan senate in Rome was an example of politics making strange bedfellows. On a more practical level, Theodosius spent the rest of 393 preparing an army for war. Next week, we'll get into that last great battle between the pagans and the Christians. After the first day of heavy fighting, it will look like theodosius is done for, but as we'll see, a key defection and a little divine intervention will help turn the tide in the Eastern Augustus' favor.
