	Eutropius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Eutropius later became the court historian for the emperor Valens (364-378), until the latter’s tragic death at the hands of the Goths at Adrianople.
		Eutropius was translated into Greek in AD 380 by Paeanius as well as by a certain Capito (whose writings are now lost).
		Eutropius is partly responsible for the mistaken references by later historians about the construction and appearance of Hadrian’s Wall.

	The History of the Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire - Vol 3 - Chapter XXXII Part I
		Eutropius was the first of his artificial sex, who dared to assume the character of a Roman magistrate and general.
		Sometimes, in the presence of the blushing senate, he ascended the tribunal to pronounce judgment, or to repeat elaborate harangues; and, sometimes, appeared on horseback, at the head of his troops, in the dress and armor of a hero.
		In the senate, in the capital, in the provinces, the statues of Eutropius were erected, in brass, or marble, decorated with the symbols of his civil and military virtues, and inscribed with the pompous title of the third founder of Constantinople.

	Rome - Vol III, Chapter XXXII, Part 1
		It has already been observed, that Eutropius, 3 one of the principal eunuchs of the palace of Constantinople, succeeded the haughty minister whose ruin he had accomplished, and whose vices he soon imitated.
		They might direct, in a whisper, the public counsels, and blast, by their malicious suggestions, the fame and fortunes of the most illustrious citizens; but they never presumed to stand forward in the front of empire, 4 or to profane the public honors of the state.
		The effeminate consul was rejected by the West, as an indelible stain to the annals of the republic; and without invoking the shades of Brutus and Camillus, the colleague of Eutropius, a learned and respectable magistrate, 9 sufficiently represented the different maxims of the two administrations.

		Eutropius, on hearing this read before the emperor, immediately brought Bargus to trial, and on his conviction delivered him to be punished as he deserved.
		Eutropius, having the inclination to deprive him at once of his estato and dignity, the emperor authorized it, at least in writing; and Abundantius, being immediately banished from the court, was ordered to spend the remainder of his days at Sidon in Phoenicia.
		Fortune thus treated Eutropius in a most singular manner on both hands, first in exalting him to such a height as no eunuch had ever before been raised, to, and then in exposing him to death, through the hatred of those who were enemies to the commonwealth.

	Articles - Eutropius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Eutropius was a pagan Roman historian of the later 4th century, writing in Latin, whose brief remarks about himself let us know that he had served under Emperor Julian the Apostate (ruled 361 - 363) and his history covers the reigns of Valentinian and Valens (died 378).
		One of the features of his histories that readers have interpreted as a sign of a pagan author, is that though he lived through the times of Christian persecutions, he makes no allusion to persecution of Christians whatsoever.
		Eutropius wrote about the good events in Roman history, such as the achievements of Caesar Augustus and the founding of the empire, in order to "look back on the good times", for Rome was experiencing much turmoil during his lifetime.

		Eutropius used that fear to his advantage and froze out any access they may have had to the circles of power.
		Eutropius in turn supported the revolt of the Count Gildo in Africa, which was under western control, in an attempt to destabilize Stilicho's control and further eastern domains.
		Gainas quickly reached an agreement with the rebel and part of the settlement was the dismissal of Eutropius, to which Arcadius--at Eudoxia's urging--agreed.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eutropius of Valencia
		Eutropius is known as the author of three letters, one to Licinianus, Bishop of Carthagena, and two to Peter, Bishop of Iturbica.
		A Christian should resist these enemies with all his strength, persuaded that of himself he cannot be victorious, but that he needs the help of God.
		Eutropius was still at the monastery when he wrote these letters.

		Most historians of the time agree that Eutropius was a thoroughly crooked man, selling high offices and provincial governors' posts to the highest bidder and having honest rich men accused of treason and put to death just so he could seize their wealth and estates.
		Eutropius used that fear to his advantage and kept them far away from Arcadius and the circles of power, thus effectively eliminating the military's input in governmental affairs.
		Arcadius left the governing of the empire to Eutropius and he happily took annual vacations in Galatia, apparently upon Eutropius' suggestion.

	The History of the Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire - Vol 3 - Chapter XXXII Part II
		The empress Eudoxia was restrained by her own prejudices, or by those of her subjects, from violating the sanctuary of the church; and Eutropius was tempted to capitulate, by the milder arts of persuasion, and by an oath, that his life should be spared.
		The crimes which Eutropius had committed against the people might have justified his death; but he was found guilty of harnessing to his chariot the sacred animals, who, from their breed or color, were reserved for the use of the emperor alone.
		On this occasion Eutropius seems to have deviated from his ordinary maxims; and his uncorrupted judgment was determined only by the superior merit of a stranger.

		EUTROPIUS, Roman administrator and historian, probably from Bordeaux, who accompanied the emperor Julian the Apostate on his ill-fated Persian expedition in 363.
		He later rose to the rank of praefectus praetorio (Illyrici) under Gratian and Theodosius (380-81) and was consul (posterior) with Valentinian II in 387 despite the fact that he was almost certainly a pagan and remained so under the successors of Julian.
		Eutropius wrote a Latin Breviarium of Roman history down to the death of Jovian in 363 that contains accounts of the eastern policies and the campaigns against the Parthians and the Sasanians of the Roman emperors Trajan (8.3), Hadrian (8.6), Verus (8.10), Septimius Severus (8.18), Aurelian (9.13), Carus (9.18), Galerius (9.24-25), and Julian (10.16).

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 04.06.15
		Eutropius has not, to my knowledge, been translated into English in almost a century and a half.
		Eutropius can be read in several ways: as a historical narrator, he offers a rapid survey of Roman history, one whose brevity required of its author concision and selectivity; as a fourth-century pagan author he gives precious insight into a particular view of the past current in his day.
		Eutropius can no longer be used as a textbook for Roman history: for all its virtues and failings, the commentary is restricted to the sorts of issues raised by E., and they fall within a narrow range.

		It appears obvious that this was a plot of Stilicho's and it did irreparable damage to the relationship between the eastern and the western empire.
		The position of Rufinus as 'power behind the throne' now fell to Eutropius, an old, bald eunuch, who was the court chamberlain at Constantinople.
		Eutropius saw in this Stilicho's intent of letting Constantinople's greatest menace run free, so that he could continue harassing the east.

		Maligned, justifiably, as a poor historian, Orosius was as important as Eutropius for later centuries' knowledge of the past; he is also a unique source for the early decades of the fifth century, and he possessed a vision of history which was in many ways creative, if contorted.
		The public careers of Aurelius Victor, Eutropius, and Festus are all at least partially known, from Ammianus Marcellinus and other sources, whereas none of the other authors is attested anywhere except in his own pages, with the exception of Orosius and possibly Ammianus (a topic of major debate, summarised at pp.
		Eutropius and Olympiodorus reveal their palatine milieu through style, Eutropius by his predilection for abstract substantives, characteristic of the chancellery prose of the Theodosian Code and other products of the court, Olympiodorus by his unclassical transliteration of Latin titles for governmental posts and citing of exact figures.

		But the remark of Eutropius is to be interpreted by the “former agreeable mildness of temper,” to which he himself witnesses, and the fact that this latter period was that where the points of view of the two men had widely diverged.
		Eutropius says: “But the pride of prosperity caused Constantine greatly to depart from his former agreeable mildness of temper.
		Eutropius speaks emphatically of this even while he uses the expression which has been such a puzzle to all, that “toward some of his friends he was double” (or dangerous), a phrase which is interpreted by Johannes Ant.

		For Eutropius was the chief eunuch of the imperial bed-chamber, and the first of all eunuchs that was admitted to the dignity of consul.
		By the emperor’s order however, for certain offences committed by him, Eutropius, though bearing the consulate, was decapitated, and his name effaced from the list of consuls, that of Theodore his colleague being alone suffered to remain as in office for that year.
		It is said that John afterwards used the same license towards Gaïnas also, who was then commander-in-chief of the army; treating him with characteristic rudeness, because he had presumed to request the emperor to assign the Arians, with whom he agreed in sentiment, one of the churches within the city.

		Writing almost 160 years after the death of Severus, Eutropius is only the second writer to credit him with the construction of a wall and the first to give details of its length.
		We cannot use this passage as evidence that the author of the Historia Augusta knew of three walls in Britain, simply that, having mentioned walls built by Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, a source that he plagiarised mentioned one built by Severus, and he was in no position to contradict the source.
		If Eutropius had misread an unclear l as c in his source of information, we would be confronted with a wall lxxxii (in other words, 82) Roman miles long; Hadrian’s Wall is 80 Roman miles long.
