While Christian himself, Eugenius capitalized on the discontent in the West caused by Theodosius' religious policies targeting pagans.

This included pagans, reviving the pagan cause. His army fought the army of Theodosius at the Battle of the Frigidus, where he was captured and executed.

==Life== A Christian and former teacher of grammar and rhetoric, as well as magister scriniorum, Eugenius had become an acquaintance of Arbogast, the magister militum, after being introduced to him by Arbogast's uncle Richomeres. Arbogast was of Frankish origin and de facto ruler of the western portion of the Empire.
