[gothic-l] The Eighteenth Gothic-Roman War 408-410 AD

[andreas.schwarcz at UNIVIE.AC.AT]

Dear Bertil,
your account is not quite correct. Stilicho was killed on August 22, 
A.D.408, not 407. Athaulf never was magister militum. He was for a 
short time comes domesticorum equitum under the usurper Attalus 
in 409. He married Galla Placidia, who had been captive of the 
Visigoths since 410, against the wishes of her brother, the emperor 
Honorius, at the beginning of 414 and was killed in the summer of 
415. The war ended with a treaty between his second successor 
Vallia and the roman general Constantius in 416. Constantius got 
back Galla Placidia, married her in 417 and became co-emperor as 
Constantius III.
With best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year 2002 and 
kind regards
                       Andreas
