At the time, it was known in Rome as the '''Year after the Consulship of [[Gratian|Augustus]] and [[Equitius (consul)|Equitius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1128 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 375 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. == Events == <onlyinclude> === By place === ==== Roman Empire ==== * [[November 17]] – Emperor [[Valentinian I]] concludes an enduring peace with the [[Alamanni]] in [[Germania|Germany]], then marches into [[Praetorian prefecture of Illyricum|Illyricum]] to repel an invasion of the [[Quadi]] and the [[Sarmatians]] on the [[Danube]] frontier. While negotiating with the Quadi, Valentinian, age 54, becomes so [[Rage (emotion)|enraged]] that he dies in a fit of [[apoplexy]] at [[Szőny|Brigetio]] ([[Hungary]]). Extreme cruelty has marked his 11-year reign, but he has also founded schools and provided [[physician]]s to serve the poor of [[Constantinople]]. * The Quadi accept an uneasy peace from [[Merobaudes (magister peditum)|Merobaudes]] (''[[Magister militum]]''), which gives them land to settle on the Danube. * [[Gratian]], age 16, takes over the government at ''[[Augusta Treverorum]]'' (modern [[Trier]]), but ministers wishing to retain the loyalty of the Illyrian army fear a [[Roman usurper|usurper]]. They proclaim Valentinian's 4-year-old son [[Valentinian II]] co-emperor with his mother, [[Justina (empress)|Justina]], as [[regent]]. Gratian reserves for himself the administration of the Gallic [[Roman province|provinces]], and hands over [[Italy]], Illyrium, [[Hispania]] and [[Africa (Roman province)|Africa]] to his stepmother, who makes ''[[Mediolanum]]'' ([[Milan]]) her residence. * Gratian, advised by his chief advisor [[Ambrose|Ambrosius]], begins a systematic persecution of the [[paganism|pagans]]. He confiscates the fortunes of the [[Roman temple|temples]] and adds the money to the [[Imperial treasury, Rome|Imperial Treasury]]. He proscribes [[Arianism]] and [[Donatism]]. * In Africa, the dissident [[Berber people|Berber]] prince [[Firmus (4th century usurper)|Firmus]] is delivered to the [[Roman Empire|Romans]] by his brother Gildon. ==== India ==== * Emperor [[Chandragupta II]] becomes ruler of the [[Gupta Empire]] ([[Outline of ancient India|India]]). He is the son of [[Samudragupta|Samudragupta the Great]] and retains his reign by an aggressive expansionist [[policy]]. ==== Asia ==== * [[Geungusu of Baekje|Geungusu]] becomes king of the Korean kingdom of [[Baekje]].<ref name=met>{{cite web |title=List of Rulers of Korea |url=https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/koru/hd_koru.htm |website=www.metmuseum.org |access-date=20 April 2019}}</ref> === By topic === ==== Education ==== * The earliest extant [[book]]s – a school [[textbook]] and an [[Bookkeeping|account book]] – with bound wooden leaves, are lost at the [[Dakhla Oasis]] in western [[Egypt (Roman province)|Egypt]]. The [[desert]] sands preserve them for modern [[Archaeology|archaeologists]]. ==== Religion ==== * The first two [[Korean Buddhist temples]] are built. * [[Jerome|Saint Jerome]] retires to the desert of [[Chalcis, Syria|Chalcis]] ([[Syria]]). * The [[Maronite Church]] is founded by [[Maron|Saint Maron]] in [[Lebanon]]. * The [[Talmud|Talmud of Babylon]] is written by [[Rav Ashi]]. This commentary on the [[Mishnah]] contains approximately 2.5 million words on 5.894 pages. </onlyinclude> == Births == * [[Orosius]], Christian [[historian]] and [[Theology|theologian]] (approximate date) * [[Zong Bing]] (or '''Shaowen'''), Chinese artist and musician (d.
