In the spring of 399 CE, a Gothic cavalry commander named Tribigild returned from Constantinople to his provincial garrison in the Phrygian highlands and made a decision that would shake the Eastern Roman Empire to its foundations. His petition for overdue payments and career advancement had been dismissed with the bureaucratic indifference of a court too consumed by factional politics to recognize a dangerous man's legitimate grievances. Within weeks, his Greuthungi cavalry were burning estates across Anatolia, and within months, a crisis that began as a provincial mutiny had become an imperial catastrophe.
