When Remigius (who, as has been said, was in retirement) learned of this, either driven by the consciousness of guilt or because the dread of false charges overcame his reason, he strangled himself, and so died.

In the year following these events, Gratianus was made consul as the colleague of Aequitius; and Valentinian, who after devastating several cantons of the Alamanni was building a fortification near Basle, which the neighbours call Robur,[*](Near modern Hüningen.) received the report of the prefect Probus, telling of the devastation in Illyricum.[*](By the Quadi; xxix. 6, 6, 8.)
