dec 31, 406 - Germanic Coalition Cross the Rhine
Description:
During Late Antiquity, Gaulish and Roman culture amalgamated into a hybrid Gallo-Roman culture. The Gaulish language was marginalized and eventually became extinct. It was replaced by regional forms of Late Latin which in the medieval period developed into the group of Gallo-Romance languages, including French and Occitan. Roman control over the provinces deteriorated in the 5th century and was eventually lost to the kingdoms of the Franks, Visigoths and Burgundians. The last vestiges of any Roman control over parts of Gaul were effaced with the defeat of Syagrius at the Battle of Soissons (AD 486).Added to timeline:
