Wikipedia -- Aelia Flavia Flaccilla Augusta (died 386), was a Roman empress and first wife of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I. She was of Hispanian Roman descent. During her marriage to Theodosius, she gave birth to two sons — future Emperors Arcadius and Honorius — and a daughter, Aelia Pulcheria. She was titled Augusta, as her coinage shows.

On 15 May 392 , Theodosius met the eastern and western portions of the empire, the last emperor to rule the Roman world. After his death, the two parts of the Empire were definitely separated.

Regarding his religious policy, he continued the persecution of pagans and made ​​the momentous decision to make the Nicene Christianity or Catholicism the official religion of the Empire by the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 .[1]

His first wife, the Spanish probably Flaccilla Aelia Augusta, had two sons, Arcadius and Honorius and daughter, Aelia Pulcheria ; Arcadio was his heir in the East and Honorius in the West. Both Flaccilla as Aelia Pulcheria died in 385.
