Years: 410 - 410
May
Constantine's response to this tightening circle of enemies is a final desperate gamble: encouraged by the entreaties of Honorius' magister equitum, Allobichus, who wants to replace Honorius with a more capable ruler, Constantine marches on Italy with the remaining troops left to him, crossing the Alps into Liguria.
When he learns of the death of Allobichus, whom Honorius had suspected of treachery, Constantine is forced to retreat into Gaul in the late spring of 410.
He is now faced by troops from Spain who have invaded Gaul under Gerontius, who besieges him in Arles.
