Gildonic revolt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gildonic revolt
The Gildonic revolt was a rebellion in the year 398 led by ''Comes'' Gildo against Roman Emperor Honorius. The revolt was subdued by Flavius Stilicho, the ''magister militum'' of the Western Roman empire. ==Background== Gildo, Moor by birth, received in 386 as reward for his military merits from general Theodosius the Elder, father to Emperor Theodosius I, an appointment as ''Comes Africæ'' and ''Magister utriusque militiæ per Africam''. He ruled the province as a bloodthirsty, cruel tyrant from 386 until his death in 398. This province was, after the loss of Ancient Egypt to the Eastern Roman empire, designated as the granary of Rome. Incited by the political machinations of the eunuch Eutropius, Gildo seriously entertained the notion of joining the Eastern Roman empire, which led to civil turmoil in Rome for fear of possible food shortages. Stilicho used complaints made by inhabitants of the province regarding Gildo's crimes to persuade the Senate to declare him "enemy of the State" and start a war against him.
