Years: 395 - 395

Stilicho, claiming for the Western government the prefecture of Illyricum, which is disputed between the brother-emperors Arcadius and Honorius, goes with his army to Thessaly.
About to engage Alaric there, however, he receives orders from the weak-willed Arcadius, who acts on Rufinus' advice, to send a number of his troops to Constantinople.
In apparent (or pretended) compliance with the order, Stilicho obeys, cutting short the campaign and giving Alaric's marauding Visigoths the run of the peninsula.
The capture of the empire has begun.
