The Imperial Palace, Rome · AD 454
The Last of the Romans
Flavius Aetius was the leading general of the Western Roman Empire for some twenty years. As a youth he had been a hostage among the Huns, and he used his friendship with them to hold together a crumbling West, fighting Goths, Franks and Burgundians in Gaul. In 451 he led the coalition that turned back Attila on the Catalaunian Plains. Procopius paired him with his old rival Boniface as men who might be called the last of the Romans.
The emperor Valentinian III, the son of Galla Placidia, had spent his reign in Aetius's shadow. In 454 Aetius pressed for his son to marry the emperor's daughter, and the chamberlain Heraclius, who hated him, persuaded Valentinian that the general was planning to seize the throne. The historian Priscus, a contemporary, describes what happened in the palace at Rome in September 454. Aetius came to the emperor to report on the revenues. While he was speaking, Valentinian suddenly leapt from his throne, cried out that he would no longer be wronged, drew his sword and struck him, and Heraclius joined in. Procopius tells that afterward, when Valentinian asked a Roman whether he had done well, the man answered that he could not say, but he knew that the emperor had cut off his right hand with his left. Six months later two of Aetius's former soldiers killed Valentinian on the Campus Martius.
The piece
The painting stops just before the blow. In a hall of colored marble, Valentinian, crowned with a jeweled band, has risen in his purple robes, sword lifted high, his throne behind him beneath a hanging with the Chi-Rho. Aetius, gray-haired, in a black and gold cloak, turns toward him with a bundle of papers in his hands. Behind him a dark-bearded courtier holds a drawn knife, and the courtiers around them shrink back while the guards look on.
