Greetings all,
On this day we reflect on the start final invasion of the Roman Emperor by the Alemanni on January 2nd in 365 AD:
The Alemanni 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
