>he was neither a general nor a politician
Correct, He was God in the flesh.
He came into His own creation to die for our sins. He took our punishment.
It's funny because Jesus could at any time call upon the heavenly host of angels to completely annihiliate His enemies or destroy the world or the Roman empire, but He chose to remain humble in humility.

Nigger, Honorius should've just given Alaric what he wanted. All he wanted was to be Roman.

If all he wanted was to be Roman, then why did he invade into Italy and sack Rome Invictus?
>>1039915
Cause Honorious (read his generals) refused and insulted him too many times

>It was probably in 401 that Alaric made his first invasion of Italy, originally with the intention to petition for a position closer to Rome. Alaric had a fascination for the 'golden age' of Rome and insisted on his tribesmen calling him 'Alaricus'.[4][5]
> Throughout his career, Alaric's primary goal was not to undermine the Empire, but to secure for himself a regular and recognized position within the Empire's borders. His demands were certainly grand: the concession of a block of territory 200miles long by 150 wide between the Danube and the Gulf of Venice (to be held probaby on some terms of nominal dependence on the Empire) and the title of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army. Immense as his terms were, the emperor would have been well advised to grant them. Honorius, however, refused to see beyond his own safety, guaranteed by the dikes and marshes of Ravenna.
After Stilicho was killed and the thousands of barbar women and children were killed in the aftermath, Alaric was at the head of a very large and angry army. He still tried to talk Honorius down and he was told to fuck off.
At least he was civilized enough to declare churches off limits during his sacking and tried to minimize the damage done to the city. The dude loved Rome more than anybody in the court of Ravenna.
