Greetings all,

 

Today we celebrate the Emperor Julian's victory in the Battle of Strabourg against the Almanni tribes under King Chnotmar on August 25th in 357 AD:

The Roman forces were heavily outnumbered but won through superior infantry and tactics. This battle allowed Julian to re-establish the Roman forts along the Rhine which had largely been destroyed during the Roman civil war. This protected the province of Gaul from further devastation. Julian had been appointed Emperor of the West by Constantius II and would later become Emperor of the East as well.
