In his retreat, Alaric attempted to attack Verona, but he was again defeated, and escaped only by the fleetness of his horse.

Honorius returned home (404), and enjoyed a triumph.
Rome had scarcely time to congratulate herself upon her escape from the Goths, when she was threatened by a new enemy.
The Huns, pushing westward, had dislodged the northern tribes of Germany who dwelt on the Baltic.

These were the Alans, Sueves, Vandals, and Burgundians.

Under the leadership of RADAGAISUS, these tribes invaded Italy with about two hundred thousand men.

They were met near Florence by Stilicho, and totally defeated (406).
