  • Valentinian II

  • Valentinian I

  • Valens

  • Theodosius I

Answer

Gratian's father was Valentinian I, Roman emperor from 364 to 375. Known for his military prowess and administrative reforms, Valentinian divided the empire, making Gratian co-emperor in the West while he ruled the East. However, Valentinian's premature death left Gratian as the sole emperor at the age of sixteen, setting the stage for his own battles and challenges in ruling the vast Roman Empire.
