January 407: In the last months of 406, the lack of attention paid by the government of Honorius to Britain, increasingly threatened by the incursions of barbarian invaders and pirates, prompted the British legions to revolt acclaiming the general Flavius Claudius Constantine as emperor. These managed to temporarily block the advance of the barbarians and to take control of a large part of the Empire: Gaul, Spain and Britain.
