He was of a famous stock, and his nobility was second only to that of the Amali, for he came from the family of the Balthi, who because of their daring valor had long ago received among their race the name Bdtha, that is. The Bold. Now when this Alaric was made king, he took counsel with his men and persuaded them to seek a kingdom by their own exertions rather than serve others in idleness. In the consulship of Stilicho and Aurelian he raised an army and entered Italy, which seemed to be bare ...of defenders, and came through Pannonia and Sir- mium along the right side. Without meeting any resist- ance, he reached the bridge of the river Candidianus at the third milestone from the royal city of Ravenna. This city lies amid the streams of the Po between swamps and the sea, and is accessible only on one side. Its ancient inhabitants, as our ancestors relate, were called Ainetoi, that is, "Laudable". Situated in a comer of the Roman Empire above the Ionian Sea, it is hemmed in like an island by a flood of rushing waters.
