  Flavius Honorius - LoveToKnow 1911
FLAVIUS HONORIUS (384-423), son of Theodosius ascended the throne as "emperor of the West" in 395.
Honorius was one of the feeblest emperors who ever occupied the throne, and the dismemberment of the West was only temporarily averted by the efforts of Stilicho, and, later, of Constantius, a capable general who overthrew the usurpers and was rewarded with a share in the government.
Honorius at first established his court at Milan, but, on the report of the invasion of Italy, fled to Ravenna, where he resided till his death on the 27th of August 423.

 Flavius Honorius
When Honorius was menaced by Alaric in Milan early in 402, Stilicho hastened to his assistance from Rhætia with legions summoned for that purpose from Britain and Germany; he rescued the emperor from his precarious situation and repulsed the Goths with great loss at Pollentia (4 April, 402) and Verona (403).
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.

Honorius was but little more than ten years old at his father's death, and his tender years com­bined with his natural inertness of character to render him a mere cipher in the state.
Milan was for some years his place of residence, while Stilicho was negotiating with the Franks on the Rhenish frontier, or attempting to engross the management of aifairs in the Eastern as well as in the Western empire.
Theodosius to individuals, are to be ascribed less to Honorius than to his ministers, though consistent enough with the generally mild and humane disposition of the young emperor.

Flavius Honorius (born 384, died 423) was Roman Emperor in the West from 393 to 423, a period when much of the Western Empire was overrun by invading tribes and Rome was captured and plundered by the Visigoths.
Honorius was a man without passions and without talents, incapable alike of discharging the duties of his position or of enjoying the pleasures of his age.
In his early youth he rode and drew the bow, but soon relinquished these passions as fatiguing, and the amusement of feeding poultry became his serious and daily care.

It dates from 5th century AD when, for a brief time, Emperor Flavius Honorius made Ravenna the capital of the Roman Empire.
By the beginning of the 5th century, when Honorius came to power as Emperor of the Western Roman Empire, mismanagement, barbarian invasions, and economic collapse had all but destroyed the Western half of the Empire.
With few means available to prevent attack, Emperor Honorius moved his capital to Ravenna because the insect-infested swamps (the Pineta, see the Tech Fact of the Day) that surround the town made it much easier to defend.
