		He was an influential member of the Roman Senate at a time when the post had long become a ceremonial title bestowed on the wealthy and thoroughly devoid of any administrative or legal muscle.

		These negotiations would probably have succeeded but for the malign influence of another Goth, Sarus, the hereditary enemy of Alaric and his house.
