Summary: "Histoire du Bas-Empire. Tome 04" by Charles Le Beau is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. This volume details events during the late Roman Empire, particularly focusing on the reign of Valens and the political intrigues, conspiracies, and conflicts that characterized this tumultuous period. The text examines key figures such as the emperor Valens, his brother Valentinian, and ambitious conspirators, highlighting themes of betrayal, power struggles, and the fragility of authority. The opening of this tome introduces a series of conspiracies against Emperor Valens, fueled by his cruel and avaricious nature that alienates his subjects. As various factions plot his downfall, the text describes the dark arts invoked by diviners hoping to predict Valens's successor, leading to the rise of a prominent figure named Théodore, who becomes embroiled in these schemes. However, the plot is uncovered, resulting in a dramatic arrest and a series of executions that underscore the dangerous atmosphere of paranoia and betrayal surrounding Valens's rule. This rich historical narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the political crises and character dynamics during the decline of the Roman Empire.
