412 CE

Theodosius II, a weak emperor more interested in scholarly pursuits, allows others, such as his older sister Pulcheria, and his wife, Eudocia, to influence state decisions.

Olympiodorus of Thebes is sent on an embassy by Emperor Honorius, and sails in stormy weather around Greece up the Black Sea to meet the Huns, who are located on the middle Danube (modern Bulgaria).
