The diptych of Stilicho is in German Wikipedia as Bild:Stilicho.jpg. If I were competent to transfer it, it would serve well here, and perhaps at Brooch. --Wetman 00:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Born in Germany?

What source is there for Stilicho's being born in Germany? The Vandals in the late 4th century were living in "Germania", but not modern Germany. We should make sure the terms aren't being confused. --Abou 20:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Abou, from what I can tell, his father was a cavalry officer in the legions, so he could have been born physically anywhere. There doesn't seem to be a contemporary record of his birthplace. I'll keep looking, though. --Dhartung | Talk 23:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great article

This is a great article. It could do with a bit of editing in some places. If I knew more about the subjects, I would do it. I am not very familiar but it is a model article nevertheless. It is a good example of what Wikipedia should be. Thanks to all of you. - Pernambuco 13:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I think it's fairly solid but it isn't nearly up to Featured quality. Citations need to be improved and some of the writing remains POV (arguing one side or the other) without attribution to a historical source or a modern historian. --Dhartung | Talk 23:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A diffeent picture

For a different perspective, see http://www.vortigernstudies.org.uk/artgue/guestsheila.htm . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kdammers (talk • contribs) 09:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Gildo?

The Gildo article does not cite Stilicho as quelling gildo's revolt. Who is right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.130.139.95 (talk • contribs).

Good catch. That article omitted Stilicho's role in commanding the overall war, with Mascezel in command of the expedition itself. Bury --Dhartung | Talk 08:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
