Rescript of Honorius
#3
Excellent! I ran across your web page while I was making google searches and expected you would have an answer. Thanks.

The whole idea is rather striking - the ancient, tottering empire can't protect its provinces any longer and tells them they have to take care of themselves. I remember the first time I read about it in Gibbon, and his wonderful writing painted the picture very well. I suppose the episode is romantic enough to have entered public consciousness, whether or not the incident is straightforward.
