Topic: Battle of the Frigidus


  
  Battle of the Frigidus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of the Frigidus (sometimes called the Battle of the Frigid River), which was fought between September 5-6, 394, was perhaps one of the most important battles in the late Roman period.
While revolts of barbarian federati were not new in the turmoils of the fourth century, this revolt was one of pagan versus Christian, and the outcome of the battle decided the course of Christianity in the western Empire.
The battle is on par with that of the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in importance, for it was seen not only as a victory in a civil war, but a vindication of God and the triumph of Christianity.

 ALARIC I FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As the Battle of Frigidus, which terminated this campaign, was fought at the passes of the Julian Alps, Alaric probably learned the weakness of Italy's natural defences on its northeastern frontier at the head of the Adriatic.
The battle which followed on April 6, 402 (coinciding with Easter), was a victory for Rome, though a costly one.
The wife of Alaric is said to have been taken prisoner after this battle; and there is some reason to suppose that he was hampered in his movements by the presence with his forces of large numbers of women and children, having given to his invasion of Italy the character of a national migration.

 Battle of Frigidus (394 AD)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The nature of the ground did not allow full deployment of the battle line or much manoeuvre so Theodosius was forced to attack the enemy positions full on.
Finally, when the battle still hung in the balance, a fierce wind drove down the pass into the faces of Eugenius' and Arbogast's men, which demoralized the troops and finally decided the battle.
This battle will be an interesting toe-to-toe fight where the various possible match ups become very important.

 Alaric   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the year 394 he served as a leader of foederati (Germanic irregular troops under Roman command, organized by their own tribal structures) under the emperor Theodosius I in the campaign in which he crushed the usurper Eugenius.
As the battle which terminated this campaign, the Battle of Frigidus, was fought near the passes of the Julian Alps, Alaric probably learnt at this time the weakness of the natural defences of Italy on her northeastern frontier.
The employment of barbarians as foederati, became a common practice with the emperors in the 4th century.

 George W. Bush, an American Theodosius by Steven LaTulippe
Unfortunately for Rome, his tactical blunders and blinding desire for glory resulted in the annihilation of his Roman Legions at the famous battle of Adrianople in 378.
As the dust settled, Rome found itself with a fallen Emperor and multitudes of Germanic tribesmen inside their borders who were dispersing and settling throughout central Europe and the Balkans.
But there was a cancer in the Empire - the ‘federate’ Visigoths under their new king, Alaric, who had fought for Theodosius at the Battle of Frigidus but bitterly resented the unwillingness of the great emperor to use him in an official military commandÂ…Before the year was out Alaric was on the warpath."

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.07.11
As Hedrick notes, many of Cameron's arguments appear determined by his perceived opponent (49); thus Cameron's naively tolerant last pagans tend to be apathetic or overwhelmed by a highly organized Christian juggernaut they cannot comprehend.
Hedrick has no interest in reviving Bloch's paganism, though he is, I think rightly, willing to give religious motivation its due in the events leading up to the battle of the Frigidus (42-46, 50-51, 85).
Yet, as Hedrick recognizes, the direct links between proofreading and pagan activism are tenuous; only the epitaph of Praetextatus and Paulina, composed a decade or so before the Frigidus, explicitly describes cult initiation and personal religious transformation in the language of textual emendation.

 The Origin of the Cult of St. Maurice
In this speech, which describes the victory of Theodosius over the usurper Maximus, there occurs a strange passage which contrasts the Egyptians who fought at the battle of Actium with the barbarians who fought for Theodosius.
The real power behind the throne, the pagan barbarian general Arbogastes, had promised as he set out for the battle of Frigidus which put an end to Eugenius' rule, that on his return to Milan he would turn its basilica into a stable, and conscript its clerics into the army.
However it is interesting to note that Theodosius' victory over Eugenius at the battle of Frigidus in 394 was partly the result of the defection of some of Eugenius' forces to his side.
