Argyrus contacted the Pope, and when Leo and his army moved from Rome to Apulia to engage the Normans in battle, a Byzantine army led by Argyrus moved from Apulia with the same plan, catching the Normans in a pinch.
The Normans understood the danger, and collected all available men and formed a single army under the command of the Count of Apulia, Humphrey of Hauteville, the Count Richard of Aversa, and other Hautevilles, among which was Robert, later known under the name of Robert Guiscard.
Leo moved to Apulia, and reached the Fortore river near the city of Civitate (or Civitella, northwest of Foggia).

 Saint Augustine (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Part of this gradual change of attitude is attributable to his detailed study of scriptural texts (especially the Pauline letters), as well as his immersion in both the daily affairs of his monastic community and the rather focused sorts of controversies that confronted the Church in the fourth and fifth centuries.
In De Civitate Dei, for example, Augustine suggests that God created only one soul, that of Adam, and subsequent human souls are not merely genealogical offshoots (as in traducianism) of that original soul, but they are actually identical to Adam's soul prior to assuming their own individual, particularized lives [De Civitate Dei, 13.14].
By the time Augustine completed De Civitate Dei in 427 C.E., he came even more emphatically to insist upon the conclusion to which his discussion in Ad Simplicianum had led him, i.e., that original sin is both universally debilitating and insuperable without the aid of unmerited grace [De Civitate Dei XIV.1].

Though Systematic Theology had its beginning in the Eastern Church, its development has been confined almost wholly to the Western.
Augustine (353-430) wrote his Encheiridion ad Laurentium and his De Civitate Dei, and John Scotus Erigena (?-850), Roscelin (1092-1122), and Abelard (1079-1142), in their attempts at the rational explanation of the Christian doctrine foreshadowed the works of the great scholastic teachers.
Anselm of Canterbury (1034-1109), with his Proslogion de Dei Existentia and his Cur Deus Homo, has sometimes, but wrongly, been called the founder of Scholasticism.
