Alaric's Theodosyncrasy

Alaric was probably hoping that the people of italy would take note of how disconnected from reality honorius had become. And how much better off they would be maybe recognizing the goth backed autallus, rather than continuing to support the isolated and delusional honorius. Alaric's presence in italy had forced honorius to recognize constantine as a legitimate imperial colleague. But if you thought that this recognition would prove to be a boon to the fortunes of constantine the third, well, you just don't know.
