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.
