EMPEROR VALENTINIAN IS KILLING OF FLAVIUS AETIUS, RAVENNA, 21 SEPTEMBER 454 AD.
On September 21, 454 AD, while Aetius was at court in Ravenna delivering a financial account, Valentinian held Aetius responsible for the empire's troubles and accused him of trying to steal the empire from him. When Aetius attempted to defend himself from the charges Valentinian suddenly leaped from his seat, drew his sword and together with Heraclius, struck Aetius on the head, killing him instantly.
