 Although the series of Stilicho's victories made a profound impression on the Roman people, which gave itself over to extravagant rejoicings and celebrations, especially in the capital, Alaric's ambitions were far from checked, and new threats would soon arise to further damage the unity and strength of the Empire.Stilicho's triumph over Alaric in 403 was followed by a series of disasters which culminated in the Master-General's disgrace and death in 408.The invasion of Radagaisus at the head of the combined might of Germany (405-6), though repelled by Stilicho, was redirected in the next years on Gaul, which was overrun and permanently lost to the Empire.
