# After the Frigidus, Theodosius is received as offering clemency to surviving partisans of Eugenius

Date: 394

## The fact

Standard lives record clemency to Eugenius’s side after 394, independently of the battle-row.

It is one event.

## Context

Sparing a defeated faction is a humanitarian offset. The dead of 6 September stay dead on the war row. Shared bishops remain.

[Theodosius I](/people/theodosius-i)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Later church writers contrast massacre at Thessalonica with postwar clemency in 394. This is not the battle. Ambrose’s influence is often alleged; keep it a related-person note unless a named law is quoted.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Catholic Encyclopedia — Theodosius I and Britannica — Theodosius I independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Catholic Encyclopedia — Theodosius I (https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14577d.htm; New Advent).

## Significance

Post-Frigidus clemency is a humanitarian path of medium confidence on scope, high that the received file contrasts it with 390.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Theodosius I.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `humanitarian-access` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Theodosius I did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not rebate Frigidus dead with this pardon. Do not invent a list of names. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Theodosius I.
