Barbarian Crisis Overwhelms Eastern Rome (1 янв 376 г. – 1 янв 377 г.)

Описание:

In 376 AD, the Eastern Roman Empire was overwhelmed by a massive influx of Goths crossing the Danube, fleeing the Huns. These Goths, along with additional groups of Alans and Huns, rebelled against the exploitation by corrupt Roman officials who failed to provide effective relief and resettlement. At this critical juncture, Emperor Valens was in Asia with the primary field army, gearing up for a campaign against the Sasanian Empire. The necessary redirection of his forces and logistics would have been time-consuming. Meanwhile, Gratian's forces were preoccupied with Germanic invasions across the Rhine, further complicating the empire's response.
