Visigotisk sølvmønt fra omkring 415. Selv om de havde egne regenter, blev deres mønter alligevel præget i kejser Honorius' navn.
Begivenheder
Europa
- Ved årets begyndelse var der to kandidater til den vestromerske kejsertitel. Foruden den officielle kejser, Honorius, var det Priscus Attalus, der var visigoternes kandidat.
- Årets romerske consuler var i vest kejser Honorius, og i øst kejser Theodosius 2..
- Det vestromerske rige blokerede for forsyninger til visigoterne i Sydfrankrig. Goterne så ingen anden udvej end at flytte til Nordspanien for at finde nye forsyninger.
- Resten af Hispania (Spanien) var kontrolleret af alaner, sveber og vandaler. Det vestromerske rige var ude af stand til at fordrive dem.
- Sensommer: Den visigotiske kong Ataulf blev udsat for et mordforsøg i Barcino (Barcelona) og døde få dage senere. Han afløstes af Sigerik.
- Sensommer: Sigerik blev myrdet efter blot en uges regeringstid. Som ny konge valgtes Wallia.
- Efterår: Wallia indgik en aftale med vestromerne. Visigoterne fik mad, men skulle til gengæld levere tropper til den romerske hær. Ataulfs enke, Galla Placidia, fik lov til at rejse hjem til Ravenna.
- Priscus Attalus blev efterladt af goterne i Sydfrankrig og taget til fange af romerne. Derefter var der ikke længere modkejsere til Honorius i resten af hans regeringstid.
Dødsfald
- Theodosius, søn af den visigotiske kong Ataulf og hans romerske hustru Galla Placidia, død som spæd.
- Hypatia af Alexandria. Kvindelig nyplatonisk filosof. Myrdet i marts under kristne pøbeloptøjer i Alexandria.
- Ataulf, visigotisk konge. Udsat for attentat og død kort efter.
- Sigerik, visigotisk konge. Myrdet efter en uges regeringstid.
- Thermantia, datter af generalen Stilicho. Gift med kejser Honorius i 408. Ægteskabet blev annulleret samme år, som konsekvens af, at hendes far blev henrettet.

- In his notes on the reign of Honorius in RIC (p. 135), Kent notes that these siliquae with PSRV mintmark were probably struck by the Visigoths in Gaul. Although he notes only the legend AVGG in Honorius’ name, he ties this issue to the similar issues they struck in the name of Priscus Attalus (RIC 3701-2). As the issues in Attalus’ name have both AVGG and AVGGG, it is not surprising that the latter is also found on the siliquae in Honorius’ name.
- The Visigoths were one of many Germanic tribes that invaded the Roman Empire in the fourth century AD. Their early period is most notable for their defeat of the emperor Valens at Adrianople in AD 378 and their sacking of Rome under Alaric in AD 410. Alaric’s successor, Athaulf, led the Visigoths into Gaul and Spain, where they subsequently fought against the Vandals and Suevi for the emperor Honorius. Honorius rewarded them, in AD 417, with his permission to settle as foederati in western Aquitaine. Over the following half-century, the Visigoths rendered relatively faithful service for the empire, until their king Euric conquered much of Gaul and established an independent kingdom. This kingdom was quickly squashed in AD 507 by the Franks under Clovis, and the center of Visigothic power moved to Spain, where it flourished and took hold. The majority of the later kings were relatively weak and ineffectual. A few exceptions were the following: Leovigild, an outstanding military and political leader whose long reign (AD 568-586) ushered in the royal line that continued until the end; Reccared, who officially abandoned Arianism for Catholicism; and Sisebut and Swinthila, whose efforts led to the final conquest of Byzantine possessions in Spain. By AD 711, the decentralizing of power in Visigothic Spain had left the kingdom weak in the face of the invading Arabs, who defeated Roderick, the last Visigothic king. Another Visigothic leader, Achila II, continued to rule in Septimania, but he was also killed by the Arabs in AD 714.
