An emperor of the Western Empire of Rome, who succeeded his father, Theodosius the Great. He conquered his enemies by the ability of his generals, and suffered his people to be governed by ministers who took advantage of his indolence and indifference. He died A. D. 423. 2026 Editor's Note: During the reign of Honorius , Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410, the first time the city had fallen to a foreign enemy in almost 800 years. In a sign of the empire's fragmentation, Honorius was forced to recognize the usurper Constantine III as co-emperor in 409, only to have the general Constantius later send him Constantine's head on a pole.
