In any case, it sure was lucky that Stilicho and his army were back in Italy right at the moment when they needed to head south to defend Milan's claim to the grain shipments, which Gildo had begun to withhold. | <0>2353<0>368<0>1547<0>1206<0>2564<0>957<0>3545<0>725<0>1287<0>1287<0>3173<0>3642<0>1154<0>35<0>2284<0>3404<0>3563<0>2196<0>3592<0>2020<0>898<0>3949<0>1206<0>289<0>234<0>3867<0>4074<0>1211<0>3150<0>3840<0>3671<0>1370<0>1762<0>2009<0>3328<0>1578<0>19<0>3783<0>1981<0>1981<0>3328<0>1219<0>1762<0>1362<0>1578<0>1667<0>234<0... |
Stillico sprang into action when the grain stopped coming because he knew that any disruption to the food supplies would have been devastating to his political legitimacy. | <0>2354<0>3385<0>1490<0>3840<0>2436<0>3695<0>3840<0>3022<0>2762<0>1582<0>998<0>1007<0>2716<0>546<0>2581<0>2185<0>839<0>2102<0>1472<0>3453<0>1849<0>724<0>2178<0>649<0>1442<0>1370<0>1635<0>2538<0>446<0>1618<0>1136<0>2295<0>2355<0>1370<0>2730<0>3299<0>2239<0>3116<0>1989<0>1989<0>647<0>807<0>3118<0>2152<0>2152<0>3297<0>386... |
Ambrose had been the bishop of the Italian capital for 23 years and is justly recognized not just as one of the most influential men in the history of the Catholic Church, which he obviously was, | <0>2638<0>379<0>3404<0>2748<0>3277<0>1552<0>729<0>3297<0>2152<0>3180<0>2802<0>546<0>1449<0>2152<0>2176<0>234<0>3353<0>3966<0>2009<0>1370<0>1962<0>2338<0>705<0>1136<0>1639<0>443<0>443<0>886<0>1618<0>283<0>1480<0>3135<0>1007<0>1206<0>1102<0>391<0>2531<0>1377<0>3697<0>941<0>2054<0>1578<0>3310<0>4058<0>3805<0>3236<0>3236<0... |
But also as one of the most influential men in the history of the world, period. | <0>1025<0>679<0>1157<0>1218<0>1857<0>3150<0>2575<0>692<0>3695<0>3840<0>1007<0>3840<0>3840<0>196<0>2338<0>3018<0>2007<0>2152<0>1007<0>1973<0>2020<0>3253<0>2927<0>2178<0>3798<0>1827<0>1624<0>1117<0>2769<0>3328<0>1494<0>1523<0>1578<0>1510<0>2531<0>2054<0>1219<0>2566<0>1488<0>443<0>3913<0>3052<0>553<0>3987<0>3516<0>1079<0>... |
He provided a continuity of leadership through an age during which no fewer than six different men laid claim to the imperial throne of Milan. And so it was he, way more than they, who really came to define that age and the future trajectory of both the church and the state. | <0>9<0>2152<0>3404<0>3404<0>1902<0>691<0>1058<0>1306<0>1019<0>2191<0>2972<0>1331<0>898<0>3949<0>3642<0>3297<0>3840<0>2581<0>2568<0>614<0>2649<0>1756<0>3253<0>1723<0>1610<0>1265<0>3469<0>4028<0>2034<0>2531<0>1110<0>623<0>289<0>1206<0>3540<0>2683<0>1287<0>1287<0>1542<0>2748<0>3297<0>3135<0>3935<0>2370<0>826<0>2152<0>2339... |
To say nothing of the fact that back in 386, he had personally converted a 30-something year old religious seeker named Augustine to Christianity, which is why I hold Ambrose personally responsible for all those times I had to read select portions of the City of God for the test on Friday. | <0>1418<0>3927<0>1547<0>546<0>1729<0>3927<0>546<0>3297<0>348<0>3695<0>807<0>361<0>3277<0>2357<0>2748<0>2626<0>2185<0>3328<0>3239<0>1756<0>1899<0>684<0>2304<0>3927<0>901<0>3081<0>2440<0>1927<0>3179<0>1958<0>869<0>3236<0>1654<0>2152<0>3663<0>3036<0>2955<0>898<0>3277<0>326<0>1007<0>3642<0>3622<0>679<0>954<0>1370<0>2531<0>... |
Stillico spent the rest of 397 and the early part of 398 scrambling to deal with the loss of the African grain. And, showing off his administrative acumen, he was largely successful in the effort, bringing down supplies from Gaul to make up for the shortfall. | <0>2354<0>3927<0>1157<0>2837<0>3277<0>3277<0>326<0>2151<0>3180<0>1007<0>1981<0>807<0>1746<0>2324<0>1578<0>628<0>3118<0>807<0>1206<0>3143<0>1578<0>2531<0>3516<0>3307<0>2353<0>1007<0>1206<0>3671<0>3404<0>1020<0>256<0>1331<0>1503<0>2595<0>1747<0>1804<0>386<0>3297<0>2185<0>3253<0>30<0>1519<0>287<0>1639<0>2700<0>1830<0>3927... |
This was only a temporary solution, but it was enough of a solution that far from toppling the Vandal General, his prestige was actually elevated and he became stronger than ever. | <0>4062<0>3927<0>3277<0>3277<0>288<0>3543<0>3131<0>149<0>1205<0>746<0>2324<0>1618<0>1618<0>628<0>2009<0>63<0>2020<0>234<0>3239<0>2404<0>432<0>2700<0>2899<0>2899<0>2639<0>2293<0>2106<0>3180<0>3987<0>2422<0>3927<0>807<0>2152<0>2530<0>1618<0>1777<0>1442<0>1618<0>446<0>2020<0>2020<0>2338<0>2440<0>294<0>234<0>2239<0>1153<0>... |
So strong, in fact, that he was able to push through the marriage of his daughter to the now 14 year old Honorius. | <0>867<0>2530<0>1157<0>3277<0>1026<0>2898<0>1639<0>324<0>1219<0>2648<0>1804<0>2569<0>2152<0>289<0>1671<0>2176<0>3194<0>2626<0>1846<0>998<0>2799<0>2151<0>858<0>3277<0>475<0>3798<0>1502<0>348<0>2531<0>1486<0>234<0>73<0>326<0>3591<0>1981<0>611<0>2178<0>2038<0>649<0>3328<0>1671<0>30<0>2178<0>1578<0>2009<0>2339<0>4028<0>172... |
Meaning that Stillico was now not just the guardian of the Emperor, but also his father-in-law. | <0>579<0>1502<0>2506<0>3297<0>3297<0>3927<0>446<0>3840<0>1762<0>1762<0>4075<0>3579<0>2176<0>2338<0>30<0>2338<0>1805<0>1511<0>1511<0>1511<0>4007<0>898<0>2191<0>3832<0>2762<0>3695<0>3297<0>2541<0>898<0>900<0>289<0>1277<0>196<0>2161<0>3299<0>1649<0>1370<0>2178<0>2700<0>3129<0>2239<0>619<0>2176<0>3579<0>1488<0>389<0>2178<0... |
Which also meant that down the road, he was going to be the grandfather of any and all imperial heirs. | <0>2239<0>3239<0>2151<0>2865<0>1594<0>3840<0>3798<0>1168<0>3253<0>1376<0>1376<0>3808<0>2627<0>1607<0>3579<0>2178<0>614<0>1007<0>1469<0>3404<0>3516<0>390<0>3173<0>3179<0>2239<0>75<0>3297<0>3837<0>3840<0>3642<0>679<0>1502<0>3574<0>1899<0>3982<0>628<0>900<0>2152<0>2199<0>1311<0>1311<0>3579<0>2178<0>2239<0>1153<0>2239<0>21... |
But as strong as his standing was right at that moment, Stilicho knew it would all be pulled right out from under him. | <0>2324<0>1858<0>3927<0>1658<0>1902<0>1902<0>3277<0>3927<0>3927<0>2315<0>1674<0>553<0>3968<0>2615<0>3404<0>5<0>1219<0>1820<0>3253<0>5<0>348<0>1639<0>1639<0>614<0>3299<0>2663<0>390<0>2639<0>1016<0>2293<0>2239<0>2354<0>3927<0>3840<0>3840<0>2748<0>3840<0>3297<0>546<0>2531<0>2338<0>3743<0>2338<0>3516<0>1680<0>3962<0>3563<0... |
If he failed to turn back on the North African grain shipments. | <0>1936<0>3695<0>1300<0>2959<0>2038<0>623<0>1846<0>1981<0>3840<0>1542<0>2799<0>679<0>2357<0>219<0>1981<0>3404<0>2339<0>1639<0>3307<0>390<0>1989<0>2802<0>1671<0>2338<0>1488<0>1578<0>2756<0>1136<0>175<0>5<0>1519<0>2898<0>1192<0>623<0>3143<0>3698<0>797<0>2178<0>432<0>446<0>3052<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>3... |
In the spring of 398 then, Estilico ordered an invasion force to head south, topple Gildo, and retake the farms and ports of the region. | <0>807<0>1858<0>3927<0>3987<0>64<0>3899<0>3187<0>3447<0>546<0>1525<0>1206<0>2581<0>1899<0>4028<0>1982<0>1376<0>2700<0>1989<0>3237<0>3840<0>3927<0>2151<0>3404<0>2191<0>1777<0>1846<0>2548<0>1441<0>2541<0>3987<0>3935<0>3297<0>1206<0>1671<0>951<0>2032<0>649<0>2338<0>3982<0>2338<0>1578<0>531<0>3680<0>517<0>446<0>454<0>1136<... |
The Vandal General did not lead this force personally, but instead left it in the hands of a commander Stilicho knew would pursue the destruction of Gildo with a relentless zeal. Gildo's brother, and now mortal enemy, Mez'Kazel. | <0>3840<0>746<0>2173<0>258<0>3840<0>1547<0>3277<0>1981<0>359<0>3165<0>2185<0>546<0>919<0>3404<0>3671<0>998<0>546<0>1206<0>135<0>4044<0>2338<0>3982<0>1578<0>3192<0>175<0>1618<0>978<0>1031<0>327<0>361<0>2700<0>98<0>3116<0>821<0>3003<0>2239<0>3840<0>1020<0>2152<0>1880<0>193<0>3444<0>3837<0>2631<0>2426<0>924<0>998<0>3297<0... |
The two brothers had once been as close as you'd expect brothers to be. | <0>3840<0>2152<0>1401<0>2368<0>1157<0>3404<0>291<0>746<0>955<0>1023<0>3447<0>2185<0>1441<0>3404<0>3277<0>2921<0>2152<0>2152<0>1857<0>1973<0>2176<0>5<0>2972<0>1114<0>1545<0>3162<0>1378<0>3497<0>1578<0>1370<0>2648<0>869<0>1370<0>1136<0>1494<0>2354<0>3052<0>234<0>546<0>3968<0>405<0>1989<0>3147<0>2007<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<... |
But they had had a falling out, and Mezquizel, fearing for his life, had fled North Africa for the safety of Italy. | <0>3354<0>1287<0>3840<0>1587<0>1726<0>1547<0>2748<0>3443<0>1777<0>2315<0>2102<0>2541<0>3642<0>3574<0>2756<0>1639<0>704<0>1016<0>2156<0>530<0>2307<0>3695<0>2152<0>807<0>2543<0>3665<0>2927<0>2338<0>3579<0>2535<0>175<0>1363<0>3120<0>2054<0>2972<0>2034<0>2152<0>446<0>651<0>3579<0>1578<0>977<0>1989<0>3129<0>1172<0>2152<0>44... |
As punishment for the flight, Gildo took the rather extreme step of executing Mezquizel's two sons. | <0>1224<0>2769<0>1331<0>1157<0>1472<0>326<0>1982<0>4028<0>3239<0>3579<0>1578<0>1192<0>2137<0>4095<0>234<0>3447<0>2422<0>3840<0>3840<0>3472<0>3592<0>3187<0>1206<0>3404<0>1370<0>2416<0>3434<0>2569<0>4074<0>1610<0>1978<0>546<0>679<0>3927<0>3545<0>928<0>1455<0>1649<0>1973<0>1370<0>443<0>4037<0>3187<0>2440<0>746<0>3109<0>74... |
So Stillico recognized that if there was one man in the empire who was not going to rest until Gildo's head was on a stick, it was Mezquizel. | <0>2921<0>2152<0>446<0>3264<0>1451<0>2436<0>1352<0>3962<0>1370<0>978<0>3569<0>1502<0>3579<0>2338<0>948<0>955<0>3164<0>955<0>196<0>2531<0>507<0>1370<0>1756<0>234<0>1441<0>1978<0>538<0>2748<0>2375<0>3935<0>3642<0>1306<0>3118<0>196<0>1442<0>1974<0>2648<0>2034<0>1219<0>1442<0>2338<0>2649<0>3513<0>3404<0>3949<0>3840<0>3297<... |
So he gave the Berber general command of the invasion force and left it to him to interpret the vague orders to retake North Africa, however he saw fit. | <0>3053<0>1618<0>2595<0>703<0>901<0>2507<0>3277<0>2357<0>1618<0>1973<0>2034<0>2770<0>2137<0>3579<0>1192<0>524<0>3705<0>2531<0>3297<0>3297<0>1654<0>3297<0>2568<0>2393<0>0<0>234<0>2338<0>1488<0>2338<0>2354<0>2156<0>3991<0>1875<0>2156<0>725<0>2018<0>3045<0>1618<0>3671<0>1547<0>513<0>900<0>553<0>2375<0>954<0>234<0>2338<0>2... |
Mezquizel's forces landed in Africa, and though they were outnumbered by the army that greeted them, Guildo's forces crumpled almost immediately. | <0>679<0>1547<0>1582<0>900<0>454<0>417<0>3927<0>1026<0>2541<0>1978<0>3695<0>3927<0>1441<0>2070<0>1654<0>3125<0>196<0>860<0>2756<0>978<0>1973<0>1973<0>3410<0>1805<0>2700<0>3237<0>1989<0>2375<0>1547<0>3297<0>2151<0>2422<0>193<0>1981<0>521<0>3377<0>954<0>3297<0>3404<0>954<0>1370<0>2176<0>2531<0>172<0>1370<0>2054<0>1502<0>... |
The ease of Mezquizel's victory has been explained variously as the result of his own troops being far superior in discipline and skill. After all, the North African brigades never face the kind of threat faced daily by their northern comrades. | <0>746<0>1348<0>368<0>368<0>3927<0>1020<0>679<0>2410<0>1857<0>3695<0>1007<0>3840<0>1578<0>3253<0>3008<0>4028<0>2531<0>1519<0>405<0>3805<0>1538<0>1007<0>1007<0>1858<0>2152<0>27<0>3665<0>1883<0>1007<0>3297<0>294<0>3302<0>628<0>3292<0>1578<0>1973<0>2032<0>2595<0>4044<0>2338<0>2338<0>2338<0>1192<0>3985<0>2338<0>3253<0>1618... |
Or, possibly as the result of bribes from Mezquizel, who knew that his brother's ruthless tendencies had not endeared him to many over the years. | <0>998<0>2023<0>2123<0>321<0>3946<0>2239<0>3003<0>1989<0>405<0>2221<0>898<0>1230<0>3840<0>2339<0>2581<0>73<0>2338<0>2338<0>2338<0>2339<0>2551<0>210<0>614<0>1370<0>1981<0>807<0>3143<0>2569<0>2178<0>1502<0>2338<0>2354<0>1899<0>1578<0>1496<0>2178<0>443<0>1120<0>2007<0>2754<0>2700<0>3840<0>289<0>546<0>1020<0>1020<0>3401<0>... |
Probably. It was a little from column A and a little from column B. | <0>1777<0>2102<0>3434<0>1219<0>3029<0>135<0>725<0>3614<0>2355<0>725<0>725<0>998<0>1007<0>3131<0>1846<0>3840<0>507<0>562<0>1981<0>2324<0>1136<0>1218<0>2339<0>1442<0>1494<0>3328<0>2239<0>1441<0>1858<0>2178<0>2566<0>1488<0>446<0>1136<0>1639<0>1973<0>2987<0>1488<0>234<0>196<0>1654<0>289<0>1899<0>2575<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0... |
Gildo immediately recognized that the jig was up, and that making a run for Constantinople was his only chance at survival. | <0>3837<0>1401<0>3404<0>2151<0>3840<0>170<0>3297<0>386<0>2375<0>1547<0>2499<0>690<0>1370<0>3318<0>3075<0>2054<0>3516<0>3239<0>5<0>234<0>3438<0>1316<0>2668<0>1219<0>5<0>517<0>3579<0>3018<0>2700<0>3762<0>1989<0>1026<0>2152<0>2152<0>3297<0>2375<0>1501<0>3297<0>3135<0>1007<0>1114<0>2338<0>1618<0>1618<0>1370<0>2338<0>27<0>1... |
Mezkazel was obviously not going to be lenient in his victory. | <0>3837<0>807<0>3927<0>1849<0>4044<0>253<0>1370<0>1488<0>2535<0>2566<0>3598<0>1370<0>63<0>1973<0>1883<0>1883<0>1639<0>1635<0>2265<0>1552<0>1635<0>4030<0>3419<0>2799<0>1618<0>3165<0>2338<0>1502<0>1938<0>3798<0>1377<0>552<0>2339<0>1206<0>2185<0>1377<0>1277<0>1331<0>3351<0>1701<0>3328<0>1899<0>2404<0>2191<0>807<0>3414<0>3... |
But as Gildo's ship set sail for the east, a storm kicked up and blew the boat back ashore. | <0>2324<0>3987<0>1547<0>648<0>1401<0>2422<0>3840<0>3840<0>679<0>916<0>2848<0>475<0>2354<0>2151<0>1988<0>4074<0>3927<0>901<0>3974<0>1978<0>2748<0>3297<0>1056<0>289<0>1377<0>1578<0>3310<0>869<0>2239<0>2239<0>1649<0>3927<0>1026<0>2541<0>2102<0>1981<0>3052<0>1855<0>1775<0>579<0>175<0>1649<0>1108<0>3116<0>1989<0>1846<0>3297... |
Washed up and recognized, Gildo was thrown into chains by some local magistrates looking to make a good impression on Mezquizel. But before his brother could get to him, Gildo was able to commit suicide. | <0>998<0>2541<0>1902<0>1042<0>3187<0>1846<0>1883<0>2068<0>807<0>2615<0>628<0>2927<0>1855<0>3973<0>1442<0>3516<0>649<0>3310<0>1989<0>2754<0>4036<0>2754<0>2239<0>779<0>1846<0>3135<0>3150<0>3135<0>3786<0>1114<0>2762<0>4028<0>2898<0>3135<0>3297<0>3642<0>3378<0>743<0>1190<0>623<0>3297<0>196<0>1545<0>1219<0>3151<0>3748<0>5<0... |
Though he had succeeded in his mission far faster than anyone could have predicted. | <0>2420<0>3404<0>2698<0>2734<0>3927<0>2848<0>4074<0>386<0>3560<0>1501<0>546<0>2029<0>2152<0>3840<0>3642<0>1386<0>1022<0>234<0>2700<0>1218<0>2872<0>1618<0>2921<0>2748<0>348<0>1578<0>2595<0>2034<0>1688<0>3284<0>746<0>1206<0>1441<0>1442<0>3798<0>1747<0>649<0>2700<0>3705<0>649<0>133<0>3284<0>345<0>3179<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<... |
I'd be willing to bet that Mezkazel himself was mostly just bitter about the outcome of the invasion, since he had not been able to kill Gildo with his own bare hands. | <0>1031<0>3447<0>3297<0>1286<0>3840<0>3840<0>2152<0>2921<0>3695<0>3297<0>839<0>1591<0>2631<0>2278<0>2156<0>4007<0>1846<0>196<0>382<0>901<0>3264<0>1542<0>2152<0>3840<0>1883<0>1441<0>649<0>1578<0>3927<0>2151<0>1289<0>3151<0>2338<0>2020<0>1370<0>2338<0>2178<0>3840<0>3695<0>2921<0>1206<0>2032<0>2038<0>543<0>3526<0>546<0>25... |
Recalled to Milan, Mezquizel was greeted by the population as a hero. | <0>484<0>1978<0>2541<0>2541<0>1883<0>3840<0>1883<0>1981<0>1488<0>1370<0>1667<0>390<0>574<0>2676<0>4037<0>679<0>2151<0>1026<0>3935<0>1007<0>2510<0>2499<0>3840<0>234<0>1973<0>623<0>2581<0>1434<0>321<0>1370<0>1973<0>1136<0>1680<0>1168<0>234<0>1494<0>3260<0>2099<0>3614<0>2338<0>1494<0>1746<0>386<0>1762<0>3579<0>1649<0>1376... |
But a few weeks later, he and Stillico went out for a stroll, and while crossing a bridge, poor Mezquizel lost his footing and plunged off the bridge to his death. Stillico swore up and down that it was an accident. | <0>614<0>173<0>254<0>2848<0>3131<0>3974<0>926<0>3545<0>3840<0>3663<0>291<0>3143<0>289<0>289<0>3642<0>3927<0>3594<0>3135<0>3840<0>3949<0>1981<0>1117<0>291<0>3404<0>2355<0>3404<0>3277<0>1582<0>801<0>3543<0>2548<0>2548<0>390<0>2676<0>3164<0>955<0>2307<0>2221<0>1007<0>1981<0>2339<0>2053<0>1902<0>3832<0>3642<0>954<0>1973<0>... |
But it's really, really hard not to conclude that having successfully used the Berber to retake Africa, that Stiliko did away with Mezquizel before his power and popularity grew to rival Stiliko's. | <0>1031<0>1007<0>538<0>2626<0>1117<0>196<0>690<0>166<0>2016<0>703<0>2626<0>679<0>553<0>448<0>1206<0>1862<0>1136<0>1820<0>1370<0>614<0>2615<0>3404<0>3404<0>326<0>3239<0>552<0>2178<0>1370<0>2338<0>2338<0>3516<0>955<0>2156<0>725<0>4007<0>3642<0>746<0>3695<0>3404<0>552<0>1578<0>3927<0>858<0>1205<0>2151<0>1594<0>2921<0>3135... |
These were dangerous times, and the stakes were high. | <0>1434<0>368<0>3131<0>1157<0>2099<0>546<0>2838<0>2152<0>3277<0>807<0>326<0>3385<0>1007<0>294<0>1502<0>3052<0>1538<0>1989<0>3466<0>2278<0>724<0>2338<0>1578<0>2459<0>2023<0>1829<0>1310<0>2972<0>443<0>1370<0>1136<0>1973<0>2338<0>3579<0>3991<0>3967<0>1056<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>20... |
But, Stilicho swore it was an accident. And what are you gonna do? Argue with the father-in-law of the emperor? | <0>2427<0>2151<0>663<0>3368<0>3368<0>2239<0>3665<0>1026<0>1683<0>2837<0>3277<0>2436<0>3385<0>3180<0>2976<0>898<0>2921<0>3840<0>3695<0>3401<0>2163<0>446<0>432<0>3299<0>1649<0>3116<0>2631<0>662<0>623<0>3642<0>1406<0>1074<0>2898<0>2581<0>3439<0>2152<0>1114<0>2595<0>3579<0>3913<0>3236<0>3129<0>2239<0>2551<0>3403<0>628<0>30... |
With his North African gambit having come to nothing, back in Constantinople, Eutropius returned to the other major political and military power that could be possibly used as leverage against Stilicho, Alaric and his Goths. | <0>807<0>2922<0>3131<0>3592<0>2872<0>4074<0>4074<0>644<0>1978<0>3277<0>3642<0>3297<0>3118<0>3079<0>1639<0>3384<0>2009<0>628<0>3598<0>294<0>1136<0>2178<0>1578<0>2419<0>2338<0>1973<0>3151<0>3299<0>1639<0>290<0>2754<0>3466<0>2052<0>611<0>2151<0>644<0>3143<0>3642<0>1594<0>3404<0>3695<0>2578<0>2152<0>3910<0>3297<0>1370<0>23... |
Utropius decided that the time had finally come to give the Gothic king what he wanted, an official command in the Eastern Roman army. | <0>4062<0>2375<0>2530<0>2541<0>3359<0>2375<0>934<0>3927<0>1978<0>2541<0>107<0>1277<0>4095<0>1074<0>3840<0>538<0>1211<0>2799<0>2436<0>2152<0>2096<0>998<0>1981<0>3840<0>1117<0>3297<0>2564<0>2034<0>2178<0>1578<0>648<0>3118<0>546<0>196<0>2581<0>1902<0>1136<0>1578<0>1434<0>2182<0>1635<0>3123<0>2178<0>2648<0>3614<0>3123<0>14... |
Which had the further effect of essentially deputizing the Gothic warriors into said Eastern Roman army. | <0>998<0>3927<0>898<0>234<0>5<0>3310<0>898<0>2837<0>2176<0>1778<0>2338<0>3120<0>2396<0>4027<0>1989<0>3237<0>4007<0>1025<0>3840<0>934<0>2152<0>326<0>2413<0>3153<0>2405<0>1469<0>2324<0>289<0>2152<0>2648<0>2338<0>3043<0>1639<0>3123<0>1898<0>1311<0>3151<0>3151<0>2566<0>2592<0>2123<0>2176<0>2815<0>1185<0>1213<0>1552<0>1071<... |
Which was partly the point of Alaric wanting the command in the first place. He had been angling for the command for two main reasons. | <0>2669<0>1007<0>1344<0>2315<0>3180<0>3840<0>538<0>2797<0>2987<0>2102<0>1883<0>3949<0>1168<0>234<0>2566<0>327<0>256<0>361<0>196<0>2176<0>1370<0>3579<0>1136<0>1311<0>3579<0>2054<0>2020<0>1192<0>3516<0>552<0>3918<0>3545<0>1639<0>2730<0>3798<0>3307<0>3307<0>175<0>934<0>1618<0>3665<0>1331<0>614<0>1849<0>1300<0>290<0>3762<0... |
First, it meant that his people were now hooked into the official imperial supply lines. So rather than having to go through the rigor morale of plundering, the Goths could now kick back and wait for regular shipments of food and supplies. | <0>2354<0>1472<0>1157<0>1618<0>3545<0>2581<0>2324<0>807<0>1434<0>2581<0>2152<0>1196<0>3143<0>1206<0>2123<0>1591<0>1649<0>1511<0>1538<0>2669<0>2541<0>291<0>1981<0>2799<0>2799<0>3174<0>256<0>3297<0>1441<0>3194<0>1206<0>289<0>1747<0>3534<0>807<0>2354<0>1846<0>998<0>3299<0>1185<0>2298<0>2531<0>1370<0>2354<0>1639<0>1649<0>3... |
Second, it meant that Alaric would now have access to the inner circle of Roman military planning and execution. | <0>1019<0>3927<0>807<0>2626<0>3592<0>3097<0>2104<0>2104<0>2170<0>3300<0>725<0>3422<0>901<0>679<0>1773<0>2152<0>3068<0>3187<0>3443<0>2221<0>3404<0>1562<0>1981<0>679<0>807<0>3404<0>1007<0>1846<0>3545<0>3695<0>3143<0>2355<0>2519<0>1578<0>1552<0>3328<0>684<0>1501<0>2152<0>3840<0>3187<0>1205<0>2338<0>1370<0>2898<0>1680<0>16... |
And as long as he was in the room, nothing like the exploitation of the Goths that had happened at the Frigidus River would ever happen again. | <0>1989<0>3253<0>4044<0>507<0>2615<0>3962<0>3404<0>838<0>3187<0>289<0>3297<0>2769<0>234<0>2178<0>2566<0>1007<0>3840<0>196<0>3798<0>2700<0>3237<0>2754<0>3147<0>3237<0>4058<0>3297<0>2152<0>1618<0>2152<0>2769<0>3180<0>3401<0>3419<0>1206<0>1848<0>219<0>2354<0>2096<0>1846<0>1434<0>4079<0>1378<0>1599<0>649<0>432<0>294<0>2338... |
Alaric standing with his own people was at an all time high. | <0>2221<0>898<0>1981<0>3987<0>1787<0>446<0>1011<0>2152<0>3297<0>3626<0>2338<0>5<0>1883<0>3135<0>3297<0>2594<0>1206<0>196<0>1117<0>1117<0>3116<0>464<0>2239<0>2338<0>3516<0>432<0>390<0>2548<0>2745<0>2745<0>1883<0>1973<0>1370<0>2595<0>1639<0>1136<0>1136<0>3579<0>3579<0>1875<0>2700<0>2307<0>3237<0>2007<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068... |
And though he was now technically subject to Arcadius, and by extension, Utropius, in practice, he was subject to no one at all. | <0>3147<0>4007<0>2152<0>2152<0>2151<0>1883<0>2898<0>2838<0>3297<0>3840<0>2152<0>3404<0>1675<0>1953<0>1010<0>361<0>546<0>3840<0>3832<0>1978<0>1675<0>2338<0>2396<0>978<0>321<0>3579<0>3310<0>850<0>1957<0>289<0>1635<0>1578<0>3310<0>1071<0>390<0>2754<0>1172<0>746<0>3840<0>521<0>3075<0>2354<0>294<0>3328<0>3296<0>2185<0>1206<... |
As great as this all was for Alaric, however, the deal wound up sowing the seeds of Eutropius' demise. | <0>1010<0>368<0>3840<0>291<0>2698<0>2323<0>1857<0>448<0>1978<0>2541<0>2499<0>2020<0>3840<0>2762<0>1370<0>3151<0>2332<0>2102<0>1883<0>3151<0>4028<0>705<0>1192<0>3579<0>1370<0>2178<0>2700<0>2754<0>1376<0>2646<0>3973<0>3840<0>2152<0>386<0>3560<0>2499<0>1883<0>3404<0>3297<0>1846<0>3665<0>3927<0>1846<0>3297<0>196<0>63<0>407... |
There were more than a few people in the empire who were not at all happy about the deal. | <0>2152<0>1401<0>3962<0>2748<0>3563<0>3962<0>2837<0>2152<0>746<0>1654<0>289<0>29<0>2032<0>2980<0>1488<0>1074<0>1441<0>1639<0>1639<0>1136<0>1192<0>1370<0>3513<0>2338<0>2178<0>2416<0>3297<0>3404<0>3404<0>1846<0>3840<0>443<0>1488<0>1488<0>1488<0>3709<0>1136<0>2551<0>1300<0>3579<0>3579<0>2551<0>2116<0>3060<0>2338<0>2178<0>... |
Especially the people who had just been terrorized by the Goths and who were now obligated to supply them in perpetuity. Maybe utropias could have weathered that political storm. | <0>276<0>3927<0>2151<0>3187<0>1020<0>289<0>234<0>1962<0>3808<0>1488<0>443<0>725<0>3058<0>647<0>3705<0>2531<0>2595<0>326<0>1632<0>437<0>1609<0>2735<0>1618<0>1680<0>552<0>3029<0>771<0>3516<0>210<0>1311<0>1311<0>1578<0>3310<0>955<0>1541<0>869<0>2388<0>548<0>2595<0>1192<0>2927<0>3579<0>1283<0>1883<0>1883<0>1219<0>234<0>196... |
But later in 398, he proceeded to make another key mistake that wound up pushing his career completely off the rails. | <0>1989<0>196<0>3840<0>196<0>1007<0>900<0>1472<0>746<0>1238<0>1746<0>3404<0>3439<0>807<0>3297<0>3353<0>3697<0>3302<0>263<0>1639<0>2700<0>2239<0>77<0>2353<0>611<0>348<0>746<0>2848<0>2581<0>3837<0>1442<0>3642<0>3194<0>3545<0>1777<0>3342<0>807<0>3840<0>3297<0>345<0>1578<0>3328<0>1639<0>175<0>3660<0>30<0>4020<0>2052<0>1078... |
A branch of the Huns had apparently gotten a little too friendly with the Roman front lines and it became clear that they would have to be pushed back. | <0>1978<0>3404<0>3899<0>900<0>2440<0>1026<0>3840<0>1973<0>3840<0>3297<0>3873<0>562<0>1114<0>2987<0>3509<0>690<0>1441<0>679<0>1362<0>210<0>2178<0>2020<0>2176<0>507<0>3310<0>3832<0>1957<0>3837<0>2199<0>628<0>3516<0>552<0>2649<0>1762<0>1552<0>2338<0>3151<0>2980<0>3239<0>1552<0>3579<0>3798<0>1981<0>1981<0>2054<0>1277<0>157... |
But rather than assign one of his generals to see to that pushing back, Utropius decided to take command for himself. | <0>1031<0>922<0>2735<0>644<0>2872<0>196<0>3131<0>2152<0>1857<0>3404<0>475<0>1117<0>1007<0>3840<0>1486<0>1300<0>630<0>2137<0>2178<0>592<0>1578<0>3545<0>1578<0>2315<0>289<0>1206<0>1578<0>2178<0>2700<0>1675<0>1873<0>1875<0>614<0>2648<0>2648<0>1310<0>611<0>3973<0>290<0>3310<0>3097<0>386<0>2848<0>3443<0>521<0>29<0>2375<0>18... |
Which, remember please, that Utropius is a eunuch, with all the prejudicial baggage that status entails. | <0>1117<0>3067<0>516<0>4037<0>3698<0>3698<0>3379<0>2191<0>998<0>3135<0>679<0>3987<0>3404<0>3840<0>1734<0>3151<0>3609<0>1377<0>1578<0>3695<0>3118<0>1899<0>3798<0>3385<0>691<0>1981<0>611<0>1206<0>3927<0>2143<0>73<0>2531<0>648<0>648<0>3642<0>3642<0>1197<0>72<0>789<0>1071<0>3237<0>3236<0>2307<0>4007<0>1007<0>1973<0>3970<0>... |
Secretly running the Empire as a high ranking court official was one thing. That's the sort of thing you'd expect a eunuch to be up to. | <0>3072<0>368<0>3927<0>1902<0>1157<0>475<0>521<0>2922<0>3297<0>1206<0>1654<0>229<0>2324<0>521<0>2120<0>1981<0>1846<0>254<0>30<0>2687<0>3671<0>3377<0>3348<0>1192<0>1059<0>3021<0>1738<0>1883<0>2541<0>3404<0>2338<0>3272<0>1723<0>443<0>2020<0>934<0>3642<0>3840<0>345<0>196<0>3359<0>3882<0>707<0>4007<0>3116<0>3129<0>2182<0>7... |
But leading troops in battle? Well that was hugely offensive to conservative Roman sensibilities. | <0>2700<0>3840<0>1422<0>368<0>1501<0>3837<0>3472<0>3404<0>3472<0>2769<0>648<0>234<0>3695<0>1981<0>3420<0>3913<0>3116<0>290<0>4007<0>3726<0>3310<0>3151<0>2339<0>2151<0>2898<0>3840<0>2638<0>1071<0>1915<0>679<0>3837<0>3277<0>2543<0>2581<0>1857<0>3927<0>2152<0>2152<0>5<0>432<0>3762<0>2239<0>3129<0>3388<0>807<0>649<0>348<0>... |
The worst part of it though came later, when Eutropius' command proved to be entirely successful. Rather than take to the shadows like a eunuch should, | <0>3837<0>1007<0>2499<0>288<0>3187<0>3665<0>288<0>1370<0>2338<0>234<0>5<0>1370<0>3991<0>2454<0>1502<0>2178<0>3135<0>3118<0>611<0>1649<0>2700<0>2700<0>4058<0>1238<0>3642<0>289<0>3297<0>2436<0>1981<0>2357<0>1206<0>770<0>4044<0>1578<0>3545<0>2258<0>807<0>3642<0>196<0>348<0>2338<0>3516<0>2404<0>234<0>1300<0>3697<0>3371<0>1... |
Utropius boldly stepped forward, took credit for the victory, and paraded himself around Constantinople in triumph. And then came the final affront. | <0>3284<0>2848<0>2530<0>3404<0>3949<0>2848<0>2705<0>2551<0>1748<0>1931<0>3563<0>2422<0>2921<0>3297<0>3748<0>446<0>3663<0>3164<0>3239<0>2972<0>3962<0>2339<0>443<0>1632<0>2239<0>1843<0>3805<0>579<0>2151<0>2747<0>2456<0>898<0>3725<0>3949<0>2191<0>3798<0>1502<0>2927<0>2617<0>2338<0>2497<0>75<0>702<0>1153<0>2239<0>649<0>203... |
In January 399, Eutropius had himself named one of the consoles for the year. | <0>1434<0>2185<0>2323<0>516<0>3131<0>1981<0>922<0>3118<0>2708<0>3642<0>3642<0>3439<0>289<0>289<0>3579<0>2730<0>3299<0>2700<0>2700<0>3003<0>437<0>1059<0>1618<0>1981<0>2324<0>3118<0>815<0>80<0>562<0>2185<0>2594<0>3470<0>321<0>175<0>1688<0>1059<0>2497<0>2368<0>1649<0>3579<0>3516<0>234<0>1031<0>3151<0>3783<0>1981<0>2921<0>... |
The exact sequence of events that wound up toppling Utropius began in the spring of 399. | <0>1238<0>3999<0>926<0>2525<0>557<0>3698<0>491<0>386<0>2898<0>1007<0>3927<0>3840<0>3404<0>3131<0>2152<0>934<0>3592<0>998<0>348<0>2531<0>1973<0>1132<0>1136<0>1370<0>1488<0>2775<0>1671<0>3123<0>194<0>1370<0>771<0>172<0>254<0>3837<0>289<0>3118<0>2375<0>3840<0>2152<0>1205<0>2569<0>2898<0>552<0>2338<0>1578<0>210<0>1377<0>64... |
Some gothic auxiliaries who had been settled in Asia Minor began to complain that Eutropius had not delivered on promises made during the previous year's campaign against the Huns. | <0>326<0>1007<0>291<0>521<0>611<0>900<0>291<0>3404<0>3143<0>3297<0>3516<0>1192<0>703<0>2338<0>2338<0>2568<0>517<0>4001<0>3235<0>2338<0>2312<0>3328<0>1556<0>3253<0>172<0>2419<0>1639<0>3579<0>1951<0>30<0>2639<0>2639<0>1287<0>2899<0>2683<0>648<0>2152<0>553<0>3277<0>3187<0>3695<0>196<0>327<0>2070<0>546<0>3297<0>289<0>289<0... |
And when they decided their complaints were falling on deaf ears, they picked up their swords to see if maybe Constantinople would listen to that. Utropius did indeed listen. | <0>3917<0>2152<0>1007<0>2152<0>1547<0>3935<0>934<0>898<0>256<0>2427<0>2338<0>2972<0>1639<0>3151<0>1007<0>3131<0>289<0>1746<0>1973<0>1973<0>1192<0>1488<0>2178<0>649<0>432<0>234<0>2137<0>1578<0>3118<0>900<0>3401<0>3143<0>1649<0>3967<0>3129<0>1989<0>3237<0>3097<0>3642<0>1591<0>807<0>3622<0>1777<0>1483<0>746<0>2762<0>3404<... |
But instead of delivering on his promises, he sent some troops under the command of the gothic general Guinus, who we met earlier at the assassination of Rufinus, to put down the burgeoning revolt. | <0>2156<0>1734<0>3987<0>3695<0>1857<0>1469<0>2837<0>196<0>3840<0>3135<0>2196<0>3404<0>2365<0>2368<0>3516<0>1316<0>2404<0>3310<0>1902<0>1902<0>1620<0>2972<0>2338<0>2338<0>3310<0>2239<0>2399<0>619<0>405<0>2152<0>746<0>3045<0>3987<0>1026<0>1331<0>3472<0>1842<0>1618<0>2054<0>63<0>1973<0>2748<0>256<0>2921<0>2756<0>2799<0>62... |
But Guinus, being ethnically goth, sympathized with the leaders of the revolt, and did not try very hard to put them down. Instead, he opened up talks with them, not revolving on how to resettle them, | <0>2921<0>3840<0>1469<0>36<0>3439<0>2152<0>2199<0>1578<0>290<0>1277<0>1306<0>919<0>104<0>3695<0>2748<0>3438<0>2152<0>5<0>2627<0>2151<0>787<0>3434<0>3239<0>234<0>3469<0>2239<0>3237<0>3237<0>2972<0>3927<0>3447<0>3404<0>385<0>1973<0>1442<0>2199<0>3239<0>5<0>1219<0>3253<0>1756<0>2531<0>2338<0>234<0>1219<0>2338<0>2898<0>354... |
But revolving around what was to be done with the eunuch. | <0>359<0>1218<0>1370<0>348<0>3471<0>2123<0>807<0>1007<0>1981<0>3404<0>196<0>2020<0>998<0>2152<0>2762<0>3968<0>289<0>2498<0>3695<0>3404<0>2034<0>432<0>234<0>3003<0>3762<0>2239<0>3029<0>1442<0>5<0>1855<0>2627<0>919<0>3840<0>3143<0>2182<0>2821<0>2003<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
Meanwhile, in Constantinople, a backroom campaign to oust the arrogant utropias began to unfold, matching the talks that were going on out in the field. | <0>1579<0>1547<0>1007<0>2541<0>3404<0>1883<0>2987<0>1172<0>746<0>3297<0>1857<0>3404<0>2191<0>627<0>623<0>1211<0>3253<0>2020<0>3543<0>3982<0>1648<0>327<0>1675<0>291<0>2748<0>1973<0>3404<0>954<0>1542<0>623<0>954<0>1277<0>1701<0>1962<0>1277<0>1233<0>1260<0>2221<0>2499<0>2972<0>3310<0>1206<0>289<0>319<0>2137<0>1192<0>3022<... |
Spearheaded by a minister named Aurelian, the campaign eventually received the blessing and then the backing of the Empress Eudoxia. | <0>326<0>3927<0>2375<0>1472<0>1200<0>3663<0>1434<0>196<0>321<0>2595<0>649<0>649<0>2152<0>2152<0>3832<0>2756<0>1827<0>3328<0>3545<0>1488<0>2178<0>628<0>1762<0>2088<0>3328<0>234<0>2700<0>1989<0>3466<0>1219<0>1007<0>368<0>2848<0>1213<0>553<0>679<0>2703<0>546<0>3695<0>3404<0>3840<0>807<0>746<0>3840<0>2581<0>2626<0>4074<0>1... |
Who had begun to feud with Eutropius now that he was getting too big for his britches. | <0>3071<0>704<0>1981<0>1007<0>820<0>926<0>3131<0>3592<0>3249<0>1830<0>1830<0>386<0>703<0>3837<0>954<0>326<0>2830<0>166<0>3385<0>1370<0>1639<0>1701<0>348<0>524<0>425<0>920<0>1287<0>2492<0>746<0>3404<0>2626<0>2199<0>1671<0>2338<0>1545<0>280<0>3162<0>3973<0>1748<0>2182<0>166<0>3798<0>1376<0>280<0>3052<0>978<0>175<0>2821<0... |
In mid-399, Eutropius opened up a dispatch from Gainas, and instead of reading about how the rabble had been defeated, he instead read about how the two sides had united in demanding Eutropius step down from office. | <0>1654<0>2152<0>546<0>3793<0>3109<0>697<0>516<0>1469<0>546<0>1206<0>807<0>3642<0>1579<0>3913<0>2700<0>1989<0>3003<0>2353<0>3297<0>4013<0>3404<0>833<0>926<0>3832<0>3066<0>2422<0>3135<0>652<0>679<0>3377<0>2575<0>1038<0>538<0>3927<0>3052<0>3705<0>2332<0>2354<0>1192<0>2178<0>978<0>2648<0>361<0>1857<0>2355<0>3762<0>955<0>3... |
This ultimatum was the cue for Aurelion's conspiracy to spring into action and destroy Eutropius's political credibility with the Emperor. | <0>196<0>2152<0>2705<0>3962<0>2339<0>175<0>122<0>1547<0>2581<0>210<0>2178<0>1479<0>2307<0>2754<0>3003<0>3135<0>779<0>649<0>2812<0>1578<0>289<0>1957<0>3277<0>1594<0>1973<0>1370<0>628<0>3840<0>2023<0>1654<0>2152<0>1310<0>517<0>446<0>3665<0>166<0>2054<0>1578<0>1578<0>1377<0>2338<0>978<0>1830<0>2422<0>807<0>2626<0>1654<0>2... |
And with Eudoxia on board, they were able to quickly isolate the eunuch. | <0>2902<0>3253<0>2338<0>172<0>369<0>1157<0>1026<0>3166<0>3253<0>3151<0>2178<0>234<0>614<0>1488<0>2178<0>234<0>2700<0>3147<0>3237<0>1031<0>807<0>1981<0>475<0>2357<0>2338<0>1762<0>998<0>2799<0>551<0>3840<0>2626<0>3151<0>1494<0>2315<0>1331<0>1486<0>3052<0>1899<0>1377<0>3297<0>807<0>2264<0>2821<0>3164<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<... |
Utropius's four years in power were over and he was either exiled or executed depending on which source you believe. | <0>289<0>2848<0>3443<0>3404<0>29<0>926<0>2705<0>2152<0>2354<0>3962<0>1981<0>926<0>807<0>2152<0>679<0>2648<0>1192<0>1192<0>2020<0>1680<0>3151<0>2178<0>175<0>3882<0>1287<0>1287<0>3236<0>3236<0>3147<0>4007<0>1007<0>368<0>2338<0>2338<0>1192<0>2178<0>19<0>1010<0>1562<0>1578<0>3404<0>3443<0>1978<0>1981<0>1031<0>2700<0>2339<0... |
But the coalition to eliminate utropias turned on itself the minute it succeeded. | <0>3840<0>3840<0>3935<0>898<0>2510<0>2422<0>3840<0>1658<0>2848<0>3143<0>3840<0>3840<0>3840<0>3297<0>623<0>1654<0>289<0>4028<0>3385<0>321<0>443<0>3291<0>1578<0>3388<0>1857<0>1007<0>3840<0>1113<0>3579<0>3837<0>446<0>389<0>3579<0>446<0>234<0>2178<0>2178<0>1277<0>623<0>3642<0>2023<0>1665<0>2538<0>3310<0>1938<0>2003<0>1578<... |
Aurelion had been a convenient ally for Guinus as long as they shared the same enemy. | <0>1352<0>898<0>3987<0>3985<0>193<0>2152<0>2335<0>3447<0>3297<0>546<0>632<0>2267<0>3253<0>3328<0>1206<0>3297<0>1206<0>429<0>2756<0>2211<0>651<0>3120<0>978<0>1618<0>3052<0>2211<0>172<0>3328<0>1578<0>1578<0>2419<0>63<0>1192<0>1488<0>1192<0>2595<0>63<0>1624<0>1154<0>554<0>1049<0>2178<0>669<0>1578<0>1494<0>324<0>807<0>2324... |
But the minister was long suspected of having anti-army biases, and as soon as Eutropius was out of the picture, | <0>3097<0>1007<0>1587<0>679<0>1858<0>2152<0>3927<0>3187<0>1007<0>1846<0>3840<0>1370<0>321<0>2339<0>1981<0>2324<0>454<0>1578<0>4075<0>3991<0>2646<0>649<0>3579<0>1370<0>3328<0>3116<0>1206<0>3642<0>1938<0>3353<0>3419<0>1136<0>2178<0>684<0>2700<0>321<0>1370<0>1635<0>454<0>5<0>63<0>948<0>2639<0>2293<0>2293<0>955<0>3466<0>39... |
The gothic general turned the leverage he held as the most powerful general in the east against his one time ally. | <0>1479<0>3840<0>807<0>3404<0>1973<0>3695<0>2498<0>1059<0>516<0>3840<0>1192<0>1488<0>2899<0>1805<0>3018<0>1218<0>3748<0>898<0>679<0>3840<0>1955<0>3150<0>2626<0>3131<0>1830<0>1206<0>2353<0>2748<0>1883<0>2548<0>1846<0>1500<0>63<0>5<0>234<0>1370<0>1552<0>2642<0>1777<0>1883<0>2898<0>3151<0>2176<0>3461<0>649<0>2178<0>2178<0... |
Which is to say that Aurelian disappears from the historical record almost as suddenly as he had appeared in the first place. | <0>1222<0>3318<0>807<0>3594<0>3695<0>3927<0>3710<0>2178<0>2211<0>1370<0>2860<0>1157<0>1117<0>289<0>724<0>1277<0>3966<0>3695<0>147<0>2569<0>386<0>1401<0>746<0>3705<0>3328<0>1494<0>1578<0>1578<0>2898<0>3982<0>3962<0>443<0>705<0>2972<0>649<0>955<0>2307<0>3237<0>3129<0>1989<0>998<0>2339<0>2178<0>2020<0>1578<0>2419<0>517<0>... |
As the 5th century dawned then, the Eastern Empire was essentially run by Eudoxia in the palace and Guinus out in the field. | <0>1594<0>2769<0>3840<0>1978<0>2375<0>3592<0>4027<0>3927<0>2070<0>3143<0>3404<0>926<0>3472<0>1981<0>2339<0>679<0>3297<0>1654<0>2185<0>345<0>3147<0>2754<0>3147<0>1989<0>2711<0>3832<0>1501<0>386<0>746<0>746<0>2922<0>2748<0>2324<0>2221<0>2221<0>1883<0>2338<0>517<0>934<0>807<0>3143<0>538<0>3297<0>3404<0>3840<0>2092<0>1680<... |
As indifferent as he likely was incompetent. | <0>390<0>3235<0>3297<0>2185<0>2152<0>1401<0>3277<0>1007<0>679<0>2038<0>3179<0>3179<0>2931<0>219<0>3832<0>926<0>1441<0>1192<0>348<0>2551<0>3253<0>2020<0>3579<0>432<0>3143<0>3063<0>1022<0>648<0>1857<0>1883<0>2339<0>3705<0>3985<0>432<0>63<0>3222<0>3885<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
And in the middle was Alaric and his Goths, now an officially sanctioned arm of the Eastern Roman army. | <0>2711<0>1114<0>3626<0>2152<0>1469<0>3962<0>3135<0>3927<0>1352<0>3404<0>1883<0>3579<0>425<0>1636<0>3328<0>2687<0>517<0>3925<0>2541<0>2697<0>3151<0>1578<0>2972<0>1989<0>2307<0>2307<0>4036<0>3237<0>3297<0>1472<0>1370<0>2339<0>2921<0>679<0>3385<0>3832<0>193<0>1603<0>3135<0>1386<0>446<0>3118<0>3642<0>3187<0>3176<0>1675<0>... |
Next week, Estillico will continue to outlast his enemies in the east, as Guinus will fall almost as fast as he had risen. | <0>2185<0>746<0>3187<0>1026<0>1858<0>1501<0>3545<0>2251<0>2700<0>2957<0>1578<0>3927<0>3927<0>1157<0>1119<0>3443<0>3840<0>2339<0>3840<0>2422<0>3695<0>3297<0>3748<0>368<0>679<0>386<0>2152<0>2102<0>3404<0>1883<0>2339<0>1370<0>348<0>1552<0>2454<0>1578<0>1542<0>2152<0>3297<0>919<0>1245<0>234<0>1671<0>3609<0>3328<0>2927<0>15... |
Stillico will also continue his on again, off again wars with the Goths, who will pretty soon get it into their heads to invade Italy, | <0>2354<0>3927<0>3131<0>2422<0>2019<0>3404<0>1981<0>2669<0>3840<0>2669<0>2548<0>1765<0>2745<0>3840<0>3840<0>3743<0>3328<0>3429<0>3253<0>648<0>3297<0>3861<0>2595<0>5<0>998<0>3783<0>3404<0>3642<0>294<0>1624<0>1277<0>1649<0>3151<0>1370<0>175<0>649<0>1899<0>1277<0>2566<0>2092<0>1488<0>2338<0>2972<0>2054<0>2700<0>2921<0>384... |
But as had happened twice before, Alaric will once again escape Stilicho's clutches. | <0>2700<0>2151<0>1007<0>1007<0>1594<0>219<0>1944<0>1838<0>2756<0>1973<0>3642<0>2185<0>348<0>1680<0>978<0>3310<0>1973<0>1213<0>2146<0>2123<0>2541<0>1442<0>1649<0>4007<0>3236<0>1989<0>2754<0>1172<0>2748<0>3151<0>3579<0>256<0>998<0>3135<0>2023<0>2535<0>3840<0>1594<0>3935<0>1441<0>552<0>1277<0>2038<0>4074<0>3660<0>2116<0>1... |
And it was the rumors of barbarian collusion, as much as anything else, that will eventually see the Vandal General finally toppled from power. | <0>3947<0>807<0>2339<0>3840<0>3840<0>1981<0>3840<0>2748<0>2221<0>2748<0>3695<0>1620<0>2541<0>3404<0>1639<0>3980<0>475<0>3439<0>3642<0>1973<0>3135<0>3297<0>3297<0>3429<0>3307<0>234<0>3116<0>3116<0>2221<0>2152<0>196<0>1007<0>3472<0>2152<0>2152<0>2152<0>2152<0>3552<0>3297<0>690<0>3579<0>1578<0>3310<0>1989<0>3147<0>2239<0>... |
But, you gotta shoot around tomorrow, what, 10 o'clock? Yea, I want that smoke. | <0>1762<0>2001<0>3120<0>2106<0>2106<0>2729<0>290<0>464<0>3598<0>3601<0>1107<0>4067<0>259<0>219<0>3348<0>2833<0>3341<0>1242<0>3339<0>3261<0>1192<0>1242<0>301<0>374<0>807<0>807<0>2471<0>1214<0>1738<0>426<0>2260<0>2782<0>724<0>1876<0>3474<0>3286<0>3486<0>724<0>1222<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
I wasn't coming on unless I had the opportunity to play you guys on them. | <0>300<0>522<0>2652<0>2303<0>3834<0>270<0>1832<0>3768<0>300<0>967<0>3185<0>3185<0>4008<0>3642<0>2181<0>3120<0>3834<0>4050<0>1419<0>3105<0>1242<0>4067<0>1204<0>1242<0>1820<0>3120<0>253<0>3486<0>1140<0>2048<0>3834<0>1560<0>510<0>2190<0>4054<0>3300<0>3599<0>3286<0>1009<0>6<0>3675<0>1192<0>3120<0>3852<0>3185<0>1685<0>1419<... |
The fact that I chose football is why I wasn't in the NBA, for sure. And there's only one way to get that out to the world is by seeing me beat them at their own sport. And that's what would happen. What's gonna happen? | <0>3726<0>4019<0>300<0>694<0>3914<0>2580<0>300<0>1242<0>3510<0>3675<0>4010<0>1891<0>1670<0>4075<0>1370<0>1736<0>2458<0>1680<0>3579<0>58<0>2256<0>3486<0>3709<0>1242<0>2001<0>1891<0>430<0>3851<0>3486<0>2256<0>3486<0>4023<0>1017<0>3254<0>2827<0>1079<0>1059<0>3302<0>1444<0>1914<0>1624<0>2303<0>3185<0>4008<0>313<0>3185<0>31... |
I know his weaknesses. I know Josh's weaknesses. So I'm just ready. I just need the opportunity. | <0>1252<0>4084<0>1130<0>3318<0>300<0>300<0>2137<0>3280<0>3750<0>2070<0>3713<0>3374<0>1607<0>2519<0>215<0>1642<0>2137<0>628<0>2660<0>1242<0>1820<0>270<0>3067<0>2703<0>1307<0>1773<0>3834<0>3291<0>695<0>2466<0>1875<0>4027<0>23<0>3947<0>1518<0>492<0>3997<0>3593<0>2750<0>1832<0>1009<0>2660<0>1987<0>3158<0>3710<0>628<0>3348<... |
A mixture of a Prime, D-Rose, Jamarant, and probably Cassie.
