Stilicho, Or The Impending Fall Of Rome: A Historical Tragedy is a book written by George Mallam and published in 1860. The book is a historical tragedy that focuses on the life of Stilicho, a Roman general who served under Emperor Theodosius I in the late 4th century. Mallam portrays Stilicho as a tragic hero who tries to save the Roman Empire from its impending downfall but ultimately fails. The book is set during a time when the Roman Empire was facing numerous threats from barbarian tribes, economic instability, and political corruption. Stilicho, who was half-Vandal and half-Roman, rises to power as a trusted advisor to the emperor and is tasked with defending the empire from external threats. However, his efforts are hindered by internal politics and a conspiracy against him. Mallam's portrayal of Stilicho is sympathetic, and he highlights the general's loyalty to the empire and his attempts to maintain the unity of the Roman people. The book also features other historical figures such as Emperor Theodosius I, Alaric the Visigoth, and Honorius, the Western Roman Emperor. Overall, Stilicho, Or The Impending Fall Of Rome: A Historical Tragedy is a well-researched and engaging book that offers a unique perspective on the decline of the Roman Empire. Mallam's portrayal of Stilicho as a tragic hero adds depth to the historical narrative and makes for a compelling read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
