6 сент 610 г. - Avars invade Forum Julii

Описание:

A costly victory for Theodosius and a total loss for Eugenius. Heather states that since the Goths suffered the bulk of the casualties, Theodosius won two battles at Frigidus, one against Eugenius the other against the Goths. However, the battle also accelerated the collapse of the Roman army in the west. The losses at the Battle of the Frigidus weakened the western legions. This downturn in the capabilities of the Roman soldiers meant an increasing reliance by the Empire on barbarian mercenaries employed as foederati, who often proved to be unreliable, or even treacherous.
