Why did the name Flavius become so important after the Empire became Christian?

Any books on Ricimer or this period you can recommend? French or English

>>ruled 18 months only obeying to the True Emperor, Leo Magnus Thrax I
Which is why he waged a brutal civil war to kill the other legitimate co-emperor who Leo sent to Italy.

I don't believe there are any monographs of Ricimer. Patricians and Emperors by Ian Hughes is a good narrative of the events post Valentinian III. The Falls of Rome by Salzman is just about the Senate in Late Antiquity but there is an entire chapter covering the civil war of 472 which is the best I've found for those events. There's a bunch of other books but they largely cover the same ground.
