Arcadius (Flaccidus Arcadius Pinball Wizardus Augustus ), Roman Emperor 395-408, Maximus Scorus 36, Braggadium Dexterus, eldest son of Theodosius the Great, holder of the Golden Lavatory Key and other titles with pension rights attached is usually also counted as the first Byzantine ruler in Constantinople. Weak of chin, long of dribble and with the strong political convictions of a soft pillow, Emperor Arcadius lolled on the imperial throne for an unremarkable 13 years.
