(“flavius stilicho” was a high-ranking general (magister militum) in the ‘roman army’ who became (for a time) the most powerful man in the ‘western roman empire’)
(he was half Vandal and married to the niece of the Emperor Theodosius; his regency for the underage Honorius marked the high point of Germanic advancement in the service of ‘Rome’)
(after many years of victories against a number of enemies, both barbarian and Roman, a series of political and military disasters finally allowed his enemies in the court of ‘Honorius’ to remove him from power, culminating in his arrest and subsequent execution in 408)
(known for his ‘military successes’ and ‘sense of duty’, ‘stilicho’ was, in the words of historian ‘edward gibbon’, “the last of the roman generals”)
