The story of the Visigoths, from Adrianople onward, is one of conflict and compromise, in which the Roman state attempts to impose its traditional authority on them, fails repeatedly, and is forced to ratify their autonomy, and then independence, because they don't have a choice.

1. Julian's Persian campaign was the second biggest Imperial debacle against a non-Roman opponent in the fourth century, after Adrianople. To understand the gravity of his folly, we have to look beyond the figure of Julian and place this campaign within its Late Roman context.

The thing about empires is there's always a Syracuse, an Adrianople, a Russia in winter, an Afghanistan, a Hormuz. That is the nature of them.
Predatory, inherited power over others does not create patient competence. The hubris inevitably wins out, more devastatingly with each passing year.

Adrianople was not the achievement of a disorganised horde of the unwashed but that of a clever people who knew that if you have wagons you can make a fort out of them!

Or in the ancient past. Maybe the Gothic defeat of the Romans in the Battle of Adrianople

if you make something spooky before about 350 CE you gotta bury it. you can’t destroy it (because you would invite its vengeance) and you can’t keep it to show it off (because goths weren’t invented until the battle of adrianople in 378)

The other thing is that the average Roman army of the late era was 100% /less/ equipped to deal with the age than the barbarians that völkerwanderunged into them and this is very obviously evidenced by the fact that after Adrianople they basically just let them be the military instead.

A short history of the Battle of Adrianople:
Goths: "If you let us in we will help you fight the Huns."
Romans: "We're going to sell your woman and children into slavery."
Goths: "Well now I'm going to stab you."
Goths: "If you let us in we will help you fight the Huns."
Romans: "We're going to sell your woman and children into slavery."
Goths: "Well now I'm going to stab you."
So crazy how what made Rome fall was the bleeding-heart Christians, or the immigrants, or the queers,
and not, like, the oligarchic systems of unaccountable control, the bribery, or the dictatorships

Adrianople. A city in NW Turkey with MUCH history given its proximity to the Bulgarian & Greek borders. Battles, Ottomans...and Romans. Modern name is Erdirne. It was Orestias until *Hadrian* renamed it Hadrianopolos, the English version is Adrianople.😉 A clever name for the pub given the wall.
#NewcastleUponTyne Former Blue Man pub on Elswick Road photographed on this day 15th September 2012. Originally the Adrianople and renamed as Adrian's Head. The current building was re-built in 1910.

After hitting my target of writing a 1000 words a day, I thought I'd take a "break" by reading one of the latest JLA articles on Adrianople.
The "relaxing" aspect didn't last five pages.

very tolkien voice: and this is why the Nazis attempting to claim affinity to the barbarian peoples of the Völkerwanderung was stupid; Adrianople was a karmic vengeance for Jerusalem
Which brings me to my core thesis: Christian antisemitism is a logical consequence and direct followup of /Roman/ antisemitism, which was in turn born on account of the Jews being the only people who refused to put up with their shite until the Goths.
