Greetings all,

Today we reflect on the beginning of the final invasion into Roman territory by the Alemanni on January 2nd in 365 AD:


The German tribal confederation called the Alemanni (literally meaning "All Men") had previously been defeated by the Emperor Julian in campaigns during the years 357, 358, 359, and 360 AD and had signed treaties of peace. After this new incursion into Roman territory they were later defeated in the Battle of Solicinium by the Emperor Valentinian I. This was their last invasion of Rome, and in 496 they were absorbed into the Carolingian Empire.

-Marcus Cassius Julianus
