The man known to history as Stilicho rose to power at the moment Rome’s empire began to fail for the last time. As a barbarian in the eyes of the Roman world, he could never become emperor himself, instead becoming the power behind the throne. Despite saving Rome from its most dangerous enemies, the jealousy of those around him eventually led to his downfall and execution, but Stilicho’s legacy would not be as a great general who went willingly to his death to avoid greater bloodshed. Rather he is known as the first of the barbarian generals who wielded real power behind a succession of weak Roman emperors, overseeing disaster after disaster, before the Western Roman Empire ceased to exist in 476 AD.
