      ab: This article looks at the poet Claudian’s construction of the imperial general Flavius Stilicho, with particular attention to the concept of masculinity in late antiquity. It argues that Stilicho’s depiction as the ‘ideal’ male not only included a number of traditional and contemporary concepts of masculinity, but did so at the expense of the emperor, upon whom such praise was normally focused. In so doing, not only did Claudian marginalise the emperor of the West, Honorius (r.395–423), but in his hyperbolic praise of the general created a new amalgamation of the Roman virtus.
