	Honorius (emperor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Honorius was declared Augustus in 393 by his father and became western emperor at the age of 10, following his father's death in January 395.
		At first Honorius based his capital in Milan, but when the Visigoths entered Italy in 402 he moved his capital to the coastal city of Ravenna, which was protected by a ring of marshes and strong fortifications.
		Honorius' supposed weakness and timidity in the face of internal dissension and the attacks of the Visigoths and Vandals is often said to have contributed to the rapid disintegration of the western half of the empire.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Flavius Honorius
		The eleven-year-old Honorius was under the guardianship of the able Vandal general Stilicho whom Theodosius had placed in command of the troops stationed in northern Italy.
		Honorius and the court took refuge within the fastnesses of Ravenna, impregnable in its marshy surroundings, which now became the capital of the Emperor of Western Rome, and later of the Ostrogoth kings and the viceroys of Eastern Rome.
		As Honorius repeated his rejection of the demand for pay and quarters for the Goths, Alaric took the city of Rome by storm on 24 August, 410, leaving it to be sacked by his warriors for three days, but sparing the lives of the inhabitants and treating the churches with respect.

		And in addition to these we decide that Honorius also, who was pope of elder Rome, be with them cast out of the holy Church of God, and be anathematized with them, because we have found by his letter to Sergius that he followed his opinion in all things, and confirmed his wicked dogmas".
		It should be noted that he calls Honorius "the confirmer of the heresy and contradictor of himself", again showing that Honorius was not condemned by the council as a Monothelite, but for approving Sergius's contradictory policy of placing orthodox and heretical expressions under the same ban.
		The condemnation of Pope Honorius was retained in the lessons of the Breviary for 28 June (St.

		In the mean time, the emperor Honorius 161 commanded his wife Thermantia to be taken from the imperial throne, and to be restored to her mother, who notwithstanding was without suspicion.
		When the emperor heard of his approach, and that he had with him an inconsiderable force, he ordered all his troops both horse and foot, which were in the different towns, to march under their own officers to meet him.
		The emperor requiring him, as one enrolled among the officers, to attend at court in his due course, he replied that there was a law which forbad him the use of a girdle, or that any one should be reckoned among the officers who did not reverence the Christian religion.

		Honorius was declared emperor of the West in 394 at Milan, where he remained almost uninterruptedly till 399.
		Honorius, now in his 15th year, thought only of flight into Gaul; but Alaric, overthrown by Stilicho at Pollentia and Verona, was allowed or compelled to retreat, and Honorius went with Stilicho to Rome to celebrate the last triumph of the empire (a.d.

		Everyone was horrified at the arrogance of this statement, and the Emperor Honorius was poised for flight, for which purpose he had brought together into the harbour of Ravenna no small fleet of ships.
		Honorius, however, wrote letters to the cities in Britain urging them to be on their guard, and he distributed rewards to the soldiers from moneys supplied him by Heraclianus.
		For Sarus, who had allied himself with neither the Emperor Honorius nor Alaric, was by chance staying with a small force of barbarians in Picenum, and Ataulphus, who was angry with him as a result of some long-standing grievance, was en route with his entire army to that very region.

	Priscus Attalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He had the exceptional honor of being twice proclaimed emperor by the Visigoths, in an effort to impose their terms on the ineffectual Emperor Honorius, in Ravenna: he held the title of emperor in Rome, during 409, and later in Bordeaux in 414.
		His two reigns lasted only some months; the first one ended when Alaric believed it was hampering his negotiations with Honorius, and the second came to an end after he was abandoned by the Visigoths and eventually captured by Honorius' men.
		Attalus was obliged to participate in the triumph Honorius celebrated in the streets of Rome in 416, before finishing his days exiled in the Lipari Islands.

		It was on Honorius' example that, later on, the kings of Italy or the German emperors, based their claim to have a voice in the election of the Roman pontiff.
		He wrote on July 1, 419 the letter Ecclasiae meae, begging the emperor to assure that, when the vacancy of the holy see occurred, the election of his successor would be done with freedom and in conformity with the traditions and the canons of the church.

	The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire XXXIII
		DURING a long and disgraceful reign of twenty-eight years, Honorius, emperor of the West, was separated from the friendship of his brother, and afterwards of his nephew, who reigned over the East; and Constantinople beheld, with apparent indifference and secret joy, the calamities of Rome.
		The emperor Theodosius, when he received the news of the victory, interrupted the horseraces; and singing, as he marched through the streets a suitable psalm, conducted his people from the Hippodrome to the church, where he spent the remainder of the day in grateful devotion.
		When the emperor Decius persecuted the Christians, seven noble youths of Ephesus concealed themselves in a spacious cavern in the side of an adjacent mountain where they were doomed to perish by the tyrant, who gave orders that the entrance should be firmly secured with a pile of huge stones.

		In 423, Honorius died and Theodosius was forced to accept Valentinian as the only candidate for the Western throne in the face of John the Usurper.

	2005 Souvenir Description
		In a conventionalized style, the ‘portrait’ of the Emperor is probably more not unlike the subject than the accurate and vivid individualized portraits of 1st and 2nd century Roman coins.
		No strong Emperors succeeded Honorius at Rome, and a little over half a century after his death, the last Emperor at Rome was deposed by Goths.
		Silver coinage was very limited in the 4th century, and ceased to play any monetarily significant role after the time of Honorius as the Roman middle class and its urban retail economy ceased to exist, leaving only the gold coinage of the Patrician elite and an entirely inadequate coinage of tiny coppers for everyone else.

		Honorius, safe in the fortress of Ravenna, defied the Goth and refused to give terms.

		Our example portrays Honorius, emperor of the Western part of the Empire following its division on the death of his father Theodosius I. Honorius never actually ruled (there is some evidence that he was somewhat mentally challenged) but was the puppet of the powerful advisor Stilichio.
		Honorius is on the right and looks at his colleagues Arcadius and Theodosius II who ruled the Eastern Empire.
		Theodosius II was made Emperor by his father Arcadius when he was about one year old but he was probably a bit over five when this coin was produced (406-408 AD).

		When Arcadius was reigning, Honorius being consul the seventh time and Theodosius the second, the troops in Britain revolted and promoted Marcus to the imperial throne, rendering obedience to him as the sovereign in those countries.
		At their arrival, Honorius, as if awaked from a deep sleep, confided the defence of the walls to those who were come from the east, and resolved to remain at Ravenna, until he should receive better intelligence of the affairs of Africa.
		Honorius, having sent letters to the cities of Britain, counselling them to be watchful of their own security, and having rewarded his soldiers with the money sent by Heraclianus, lived with all imaginable ease, since he had acquired the attachment of the soldiers in all places.
