Episode notes

On August 9, 378, one of the most important battles in history took place.

While largely forgotten today, it was a critical battle that contributed to the collapse of the Roman Empire.

It wasn’t just a loss for the Roman army; it also resulted in the death of an emperor, and it also contributed to the rise of a group known as the Visigoths, who would go on to spread throughout much of Europe over the next several centuries.

Learn more about the Battle of Adrianople and how it changed the course of history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
