At the same time _Gerontius_, one of _Constantine_'s captains, revolted from him, and set up _Maximus_ Emperor in _Spain_. Whereupon _Constantine_ sent _Edobec_, another of his captains, to draw to his assistance, the _Barbarians_ under _Goar_ and _Gundicar_ in _Gallia_, and supplies of _Franks_ and _Alemans_ from beyond the _Rhine_; and committed the custody of _Vienne_ in _Gallia Narbonensis_ to his son _Constans_. _Gerontius_ advancing, first slew _Constans_ at _Vienne_, and then began to besiege _Constantine_ at _Arles_. But _Honorius_ at the same time sending _Constantius_ with an army on the same errand, _Gerontius_ fled, and _Constantius_ continued the siege, strengthned by the access of the greatest part of the soldiers of _Gerontius_. After four months siege, _Edobec_ having procured succours, the _Barbarian_ Kings at _Ments_, _Goar_ and _Gundicar_, constitute _Jovinus_ Emperor, and together with him set forward to relieve _Arles_. At their approach _Constantius_ retired. They pursued, and he beat them by surprize; but not prosecuting his victory, the _Barbarians_ soon recovered themselves; yet not so as to hinder the fall of the tyrants _Constantine_, _Jovinus_ and _Maximus_. _Britain_ could not be recovered to the Empire, but remained ever after a distinct kingdom. The next year, A.C. 412, the _Visigoths_ being beaten in _Italy_, had _Aquitain_ granted them to retire into: and they invaded it with much violence, causing the _Alans_ and _Burgundians_ to retreat, who were then depopulating of it. At the same time the _Burgundians_ were brought to peace; and the Emperor granted them for inheritance a region upon the _Rhine_ which they had invaded: and the same, I presume, he did with the _Alans_. But the _Franks_ not long after retaking and burning _Triers_, _Castinus_, A.C. 415, was sent against them with an army, who routed them and slew _Theudomir_ their King This was the second taking of _Triers_ by the _Franks_. It was therefore taken four times, once by the _Vandals_ and thrice by the _Franks_. _Theudomir_ was succeeded by _Pharamond_, the Prince or King of the _Salian Franks_ in _Germany_. From thence he brought new forces, reigned over the whole, and had seats granted to his people within the Empire near the _Rhine_. And now the _Barbarians_ were all quieted, and settled in several kingdoms within the Empire, not only by conquest, but also by the grants of the Emperor _Honorius_. For _Rutilius_ in his _Itinerary_, written in Autumn, _Anno Urbis_ 1169, that is, according to _Varro_'s computation then in use, A.C. 416, thus laments the wasted fields: _Illa quidem longis nimium deformia bellis_; And then adds, _Jam tempus laceris post longa incendia fundis_ _Vel pastorales aedificare casas._ And a little after, _AEternum tibi Rhenus aret._
