Ancient Rome:

The most bothersome thing about becoming old when one was, or had been, a great and powerful Nation was that you never wanted to give up. You never wanted to admit defeat. Even when you're old and your back is heavily scarred, and you know you've successors you'll be happy to concede your territories to.

Such where the case with Ancient Rome when Constantius III became co-emperor over his remaining realm.

He maintained the illusion, at least to himself, that Constantius' presence would soften the blow he'd received when Rome was struck.
