Honorius was declared Augustus in 393 by his father and became western emperor at the age of 10, following his father's death in January 395.
At first Honorius based his capital in Milan, but when the Visigoths entered Italy in 402 he moved his capital to the coastal city of Ravenna, which was protected by a ring of marshes and strong fortifications.
Honorius' supposed weakness and timidity in the face of internal dissention and the attacks of the Visigoths and Vandals is often said to have contributed to the rapid disintegration of the western half of the empire.
