Honorius
| FLAVIVS HONORIVS was born to Theodosius I and Aelia Flaccilla on September 9, 384. He was given the title of Augustus on January 23, 393. At his father's death on January 17, 395, he was proclaimed Augustus of the West, and his older brother Arcadius was proclaimed Augustus of the East. He was a weak ruler and always dominated by others. The reign of Honorius was a time of unprecedented disaster for the Roman Empire which saw the loss of Britain and the sack of Rome itself by the Visigoths in 410. Honorius died of natural causes at Ravenna on August 15, 423, leaving no children. |
