    Honorius reign was one of constant turmoil due to attacks by the Visogoths , roman power suffered under his inept rule, died at age 39.
    Arcadius , affairs of state did not interest him at all, government was ruled by others,
    died at age 31.

    Not the best examples, but the Theodosius is OK.
