13. The usurping Emperor Constantine III who led the Roman armies of the Rhine and Britain into battle against the Rhine invaders of 406. In 409/10 it looked as though his regime might totally replace that of Honorius, but he failed either to defeat the barbarians outright or to force his way into Italy, leaving him easy meat for Flavius Constantius.

14. The Patrician Stilicho with his wife Serena and son Eucherius. Labelled a barbarian by his enemies, he was a second-generation, thoroughly romanized, immigrant who manoeuvred with great skill for more than a decade at the head of the western Empire, before being overwhelmed by the combination of Rhine invaders, usurpers and Alaric’s Goths which undermined western imperial stability after 405.
