Title A name given to the resource Stilicho Diptych Subject The topic of the resource Stilicho Diptych, c. 395, Roman, ivory, Monza, Italy, Monza Cathedral. Description An account of the resource This ivory diptych, called the Stilicho Diptych, is most often associated with the Roman commander, Flavius Stilicho, who, according to Edward Gibbon, was “the last of the Roman generals.” Related by marriage to the emperor Theodosius I, Stilicho was, notably, half Vandal by birth. He participated in numerous campaigns and is well known for his defeat of Radagaisus in 406. Despite his prolific military career, numerous victories, and his personal ties to members of the imperial family, his reputation was destroyed as the provinces of Gaul were lost to incursions of Vandals (Roman troops having been recalled from these fronts at Stilicho’s behest to protect Italy from Radagaisus) and the subsequent military revolts in both Gaul and Britannia. This unrest led to further turmoil and revolt. Stilicho was executed on August 22, 408. Many historians directly link the success of Alaric’s sack of Rome in 410 to the removal of Stilicho. The ivory diptych depicts, one the left leaf, Stilicho’s wife Serena and their son Eucherius (who was executed soon after his father.) On the right leaf, Stilicho stands holding a spear and a shield. Some scholars argue, however, that the diptych instead shows Flavius Aetius, another Roman general, another recipient of a dramatic epithet courtesy of Edward Gibbon, “the Last of the Romans.” Aetius was murdered by Valentinian III in 454. If the diptych does depict Aetius and his family, the figures would be re-identified as his wife Pelagia and their son Gaudentius.
