Quote:Stilicho didn't fight Fritigern as far as I know.
Honorius wasn't incompetent, he was perfectly competent for the system of government that the empire utilized at that time - the so called "Manager" system. Meaghan McEvoy explains it very well.
Yes, Stilicho, whoever the racist priest was who whispered in honorius ear to get Stilicho killed. They all managed Honorius just fine. At least Caligula can say he built aqueducts and defeated Neptune.....
Puppet. That's all Honorius was. Rome was sacked for the 2nd time (even though it was 800 years since the first time it was sacked)He was nothing compared to his father, Theodosius.
Only reason people remember honorius is because of Rome's sacking if he would've given the Goths the Danube.
Note: sorry if I'm coming off as hostile. The fall of the roman empire is very sad to me. Its why I don't like talking about it too much. Its going to make it hard for me to play Attila and I know who I'm going to pick......
