Despite his critical role in the Western Roman Empire during the first three decades of the fifth century AD, Bonifatius remains a neglected figure in the history of the late Empire. This monograph presents a new political and military biography of Bonifatius; it analyses his position in the higher echelons of imperial power and examines themes such as the role of the bucellarii as contemporary private armies. The volume also offers a reassessment of the Vandal invasion of North Africa and Bonifatius's putative role as the traitor who invited them in. The relationship between Bonifatius and Augustine of Hippo is assessed bringing new light to the important, yet largely unstudied, influence of Christianity in Bonifatius's life. This monograph also revisits the rivalry between Boniface and Aetius. Although Procopius termed Bonifatiusand Aetius the last of the Romans this volume argues that they were the first of Rome's late imperial warlords and the first of the 'barbarized Romans'.
