__NOTOC__

After the death of emperor Theodosius I, the Empire is re-divided into an eastern and a western half. The eastern half is centered in Constantinople under Arcadius, son of Theodosius I, and the western half in Rome under Honorius, his brother.
Arcadius marries Aelia Eudocia, daughter of the Frankish general Flavius Bauto.
Alaric the Visigoth, general of the foederati, renounces Roman fealty and is declared King, waging war against both parts of the Empire, and ending a sixteen year period of peace between Romans and Visigoths.
The Visigoths, led by Alaric, invade and devastate Thrace and Macedonia, impose a tribute on Athens, and then turn their sights on the West.

Saint Augustine becomes Bishop of Hippo. His assignment is the reunification of the Church in Africa, primarily focusing on the Donatist movement led by Primianus.
