“…The archaeological record for the two decades following the departure of emperors from Trier shows signs of visible stress in northern and eastern Gaul. On the breakdown of the Rhine frontier in the early fifth century, see Drinkwater 1998; Kulikowski 2000; Modéran 2014, 43–68; Wijnendaele 2016, 276–8.…”

It has been asserted that the usurper Magnus Maximus can be identified with the commander Maximus who served during the Gothic uprising of 376–77. This assertion is tempting because it connects imperial events in Africa, the Balkans and Britain during a pivotal period. However, this note aims to dispel this identification. It does so by both examining the socio-institutional ramifications of promotion in the imperial chain of command and cross-examining literary traditions previously overlooked in this identification.

In 401 the desire of Alaric to secure territory for his Gothic followers led him to try his luck in Italy. There he was eventually repulsed by Roman forces under Stilicho, who also dealt with a substantial tribal invasion under Radagaisus in 406. Stilicho, however, was unpopular and his elimination through court intrigues in 408 facilitated a fresh attempt by Alaric. Negotiations with Emperor Honorius proved futile and, in frustration, Alaric eventually captured and sacked Rome itself in 410. Alaric died soon after and his followers, still searching for a safe home, moved to southern Gaul.
