…the hills of Fiesole, about eight kilometers…
August 405 CE
…the hills of Fiesole, about eight kilometers away, where, with the aid of the chieftain of the Huns, Uldin, together with his allies the Sciri, Stilicho cuts off their supplies and crushes the army.
Radagaisus abandons his followers and tries to escape, but is captured by the Romans.
Stilicho then executes Radagaisus on August 23, 405, and twelve thousand of his higher-status fighters are either incorporated into the Roman army or sold as slaves.
Some of the remaining followers are dispersed, while so many of the others are sold into slavery that the slave market briefly collapses.
Alaric has remained inactive through the whole episode, committed by treaty to Illyricum.
