AD 412: Constantius III, Roman magister militium, drives Athaulf, king of the Visigoths, from Italy. Dunster's lore-masters maintain that Athaulf left of his own accord, for reasons soon to be explored, as he remained a military and political force in Gaul and Hispania.
Important to this exhibit is the alternative, and in fact more prevalent, spelling of Athaulf’s name (which means “father-wolf”) as Ataulf. This variance has occasioned no small dispute among the Revisionists, as the Dunsteriad attests—a dispute we think will be resolved here, Below Dunster, perhaps even during 399.
