incense
Grains of resins (sometimes mixed with spices) that burn with a fragrant odor, widely used as religious offerings. Historically, the chief substances used as incense have been resins such as frankincense and myrrh, along with fragrant wood and bark, seeds, roots, and flowers.
Valens
Eastern Roman emperor (364-78). His older brother, Valentinian I, appointed Valens to be coemperor and assigned him to rule the E part of the empire, while Valentinian took the throne in the West. An Arian Christian, Valens persecuted Catholics and waged war on the pagan Procopius (366), the Visigoths (367-369), and the Persians (c.376). When the Visigoths again rebelled against the Romans, Valens' poor tactics led to his defeat and death in the great Battle of Adrianople.
