  Bitva u Adrianopole (378) - Wikipedie, otevřená encyklopedie
Postavení Gótů u Adrianopole bylo prakticky beznadějné, neboť z východu postupoval Valens, ze západu Gratianus a postup na sever i jih uzavíraly neprostupné a nehostinné hory.
Přesto se rány od Adrianopole zacelovaly ještě desetiletí a v západní části říše se nezacelily už nikdy.
Bitva u Adrianopole je často považována za rozhodující mezník, od kterého začíná období definitivního rozpadu římské říše.

  Bulgarian unification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bulgaria was resurrected after 482 years of foreign rule.
The country's borders were equal to the ethnic borders of the Bulgarians — he lands of present day Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia, the Adrianopole region, the Aegean coastline with the important cities of Xanthi, Dedeagach, Kavala and Serbia (what subsequently would become known as the Western Outlands).
The Russian diplomats knew that Bulgaria will not remain in these borders for very long — the San Stefano peace was called "preliminary" by the Russians themselves.

The bearer of the edict of Eusebius' banishment arrived in the evening; Eusebius bade him keep silence, or else the people, learning why he had come, would drown him: and Eusebius, though an old man, left his house alone on foot by night.
After Valens was slain at Adrianopole in 378 (see Saint Isaacius, Aug. 3), the holy Eusebius returned from exile under the Emperor Gratian, and he ordained for the churches of Syria men known for their virtue and Orthodoxy.
About the year 380, as he was entering a certain village to enthrone its bishop, whom he had consecrated, an Arian woman threw a clay tile from the roof, and it crushed his head; as he was dying, he bound the bystanders with oaths that they not take the least vengeance.

 A Study of the Pen Motif in the Bahá'í Writings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This is consistent with the fact that the term pen is most heavily utilized in the Adrianopole and Akka periods of Bahá'u'lláh's ministry.
However, the tone and content of the Súrih itself show that it is quite possibly one of Bahá'u'lláh's works revealed in Adrianopole, as is suggested by Adib Taherzadeh in " The Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh" (Oxford: George Ronald, 1977), vol.
A survey of the spectrum of the available writings of Bahá'u'lláh indicates that the qalam (pen) motif is primarily used in the Adrianopole and Akka periods of revelation in comparison to the writings preceding the declaration in Baghdad.

 THE RUSSO-CIRCASSIAN WAR - WCB Encyclopedia
This Russo-Turkish War ended with the victory of Russia, which, in the end, had untied her hands and gave her in the future to claim a “legal” ground for an open aggression against Circassia.
According to it Russia “received” the Akhaltsikhski Pashalyk, the fortress of Poti and Anapa, and the entire Transkuban region and the Black Sea coast.
Although, until 1829, Circassia was, according to the Adrianopole Treaty, nominally a part of the Turkish Empire and several fortresses on the Circassian coast continued to remain in the hands of the Porte, the Circassians had actually never submitted to the Sultan and remained sufficiently independent.
