Topic: Flauius Stilicho


  
 Arcadius
Stilicho wanted to control both emperors, and had Rufinus assassinated in 395, but Arcadius' new advisor Eutropius simply took Rufinus' place.
Arcadius was also dominated by his wife Eudoxia, who convinced her husband to dismiss Eutropius in 399.
Arcadius himself was more concerned with appearing to be a pious Christian than he was with political or military matters, and he died, only nominally in control of his empire, in 408.

Constantine crossed over the English Channel to the continent at Bononia, and historians have assumed he took with him all of the mobile troops left in Britain, thus denuding the province of any military protection and explaining their disappearance in the early fifth century.
Fearful that several cousins of the emperor Honorius in Spain, which was a stronghold of the House of Theodosius and loyal to the ineffectual emperor, would organize an attack from that direction while troops under Sarus and Stilicho attacked him from Italy in a pincer maneuver, he struck first at Spain.
Meanwhile the Roman army mutinied at Ticinum on August 13, which was followed by the execution of the patrician Stilicho on August 22.
