  • Piracy is committed by slave-traders from Galatia (Turkey), along the coasts of Africa.
  • The old Legio II Adiutrix, part of which had always been stationed at Aquincum (modern Budapest), is divided into two comitatenses , and shipped to Britannia.
  • Stilicho, Roman general ( magister militum ), leads his army in an extensive campaign against the Vandals in Rhaetia (Switzerland).
  • The Temple of Artemis near Selçuk in Ephesus is dismantled.
  • November 18 The Visigoths, led by king Alaric I, cross the Alps and invade northern Italy.
  • Emperor Honorius begins to use the city of Ravenna as a temporary center for certain administrative and military functions. The city is chosen because of its proximity to the bulk of the Western Roman army and due to the fact that its relative poverty makes it a less tempting target for barbarian invaders than cities such as Rome or Milan. This event is often misinterpreted as the establishment of Ravenna as a capital. In reality, the capital of the Western Roman Empire was not truly established at Ravenna until 408. [1]
