In April 393 [[Arbogast (magister militum)|Arbogast]] (''magister militum'' of the West) and his puppet Emperor [[Eugenius]] marched into Italy to consolidate their position against [[Theodosius I]] and his son, [[Honorius (emperor)|Honorius]], now appointed Augustus to govern the western portion of the empire. Arbogast and Eugenius courted Ambrose's support by very obliging letters; but before they arrived at Milan, he had retired to Bologna, where he assisted at the [[Translation (relic)|translation of the relics]] of [[Saints Vitalis and Agricola]]. From there he went to Florence, where he remained until Eugenius withdrew from Milan to meet Theodosius in the [[Battle of the Frigidus]] in early September 394.<ref>{{Cite web |url= https://www.bartleby.com/210/12/071.html |title= Saint Ambrose, Bishop and Confessor, Doctor of the Church.

Soon after acquiring the undisputed possession of the [[Roman Empire]], Theodosius died at Milan in 395, and Ambrose gave the eulogy.{{sfn|Norwich|1989|p=116}} Two years later (4 April 397) Ambrose also died. He was succeeded as bishop of Milan by [[Simplician]].{{sfn|Grieve|1911|p=799}} Ambrose's body may still be viewed in the [[Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio|church of Saint Ambrogio]] in Milan, where it has been continuously venerated&nbsp;– along with the bodies identified in his time as being those of [[Gervasius and Protasius|Saints Gervase and Protase]].
