Marina Severa married Valentinian before him ascending to the throne. Their son, Gratian was born in 359 at Sirmium in Pannonia. Valentinian was chosen emperor in 364. He divorced his wife around 370 to marry Justina, widow of usurper Magnentius.
When Valentinian died in 375, he was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople, next to his first wife.[1]
