Italy: Magnus Maximus (335-388), Western Roman emperor, from the book Icones imperatorvm romanorvm (Icons of Roman Emperors), Antwerp, c. 1645.

Magnus Maximus (335-388) was born in Gallaecia, and would later become a distinguished general serving under Count Theodosius, father of Emperor Theodosius I, fighting in Africa and on the Danube, as well as during the Great Conspiracy in Britain, where he would later be permanently assigned in 380. When the people became displeased with the western emperor Gratian, his troops proclaimed Maximus emperor, and aided him in his imperial ambitions.
