Roman Empire

★ After the death of emperor Theodosius I, the Empire is re-divided into an eastern and a western half. The eastern half is centered in Constantinople under Arcadius, son of Theodosius I, and the western half in Rome under Honorius, his brother.

★ Arcadius marries Aelia Eudocia, daughter of the Frankish general Flavius Bauto.

★ Alaric the Visigothic, general of the ''foederati'', renounces Roman fealty and is declared King, waging war against both parts of the Empire, and ending a sixteen year period of peace between Romans and Visigoths.

★ The Visigoths, led by Alaric, invade and devastate Thrace and Macedonia, impose a tribute on Athens, and then turn their sights on the West.
