Hello folks. Just wondering if anyone here can recommend any good books containing biographical information on Flavius Stilicho. He seems like a fascinating character from a really interesting period of Roman history, but I can't find a lot of information pertaining to him on the internet, and I prefer reading off paper anyway.
Thanks,
- Justin
If you care to wait a bit, our fellow-member Ian Hughes is writing that book just now!
Terrific! Do you know if he is writing a novel or non-fiction?
Non-fiction. he has just finished a book about
Belisarius, which I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Don't hold your breath, as it is now due for publication in July 2010 - will be worth the wait though.

I was very happy to see in my copy of SOA's SLINGSHOT that someone (thank you Ian!) was finally writing a volume on Stilicho.
While we're waiting Justin, there are a few volumes that do have a good bit of material on Stilicho; pardon me if you're familiar with all these:
The Roman Empire Divided: The Post Roman World 400 - 700, Moorhead, John
Rome's Gothic Wars, Kulikowski, Michael
Barbarians Within the Gates of Rome: A Study of Roman Military Policy and Barbarians, Ca. 375-425 A.D. BURNS
Generalissimos of the Western Roman Empire O'Flynn, John Michael
Theodosius: The Empire at Bay Stephen Williams
