==== Death ==== Without waiting for the spring, Valentinian decided to continue campaigning and moved from Savaria to [[Szony|Brigetio]]. He arrived on 17 November 375 and had a hostile meeting with a Quadi deputation,{{sfn|Curran|1998|p=86}} who received permission for their people to leave in peace in return for supplying fresh recruits to the Roman army. The envoys insisted that the conflict was caused by the building of Roman forts in their lands. They added that individual bands of Quadi, not affiliated with the chiefs who had made the treaties, might still attack the Romans at any time. Enraged, Valentinian began yelling abuse at the envoys and suffered a fatal stroke.{{sfn|Lenski|2003|p=142}} As was the custom, he was [[deified]], becoming known as {{Langx|la|Divus Valentinianus Senior|links=no|lit=the Divine Valentinian the Elder}}.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Tragedy of Empire: From Constantine to the Destruction of Roman Italy |first=Michael |last=Kulikowski |publisher=Harvard University Press |year=2019 |isbn=978-0674660137}}</ref> [[File:Dél-Komárom - modern memorial plaque of the Roman imperator Valentinianus I.jpg|thumb|Modern memorial to Valentinian at [[Szőny]] ({{Langx|la|Brigetio|links=no}}) in [[Hungary]]]]
