	Battle of Adrianople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second Battle of Adrianople (August 9, 378) was fought between a Roman army led by the Emperor Valens and Germanic tribes (mainly Visigoths and Ostrogoths, assisted by some non-Germanic Alans) commanded by Fritigern.
		It was part of the Gothic War (377–382) and is one of the most important battles in Roman history because it set the stage for the final collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century.
		The inability of the Empire to make good on the losses suffered at Adrianople (comparable in scale and enormity to the catastrophic defeat suffered in the Battle of Cannae, in which 70,000 to 80,000 Romans were killed or captured) suggests that the Roman losses at Adrianople exceeded 15,000.
