<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2723477, member: 73473&quot;]That&#039;s a nice little Valens, his Siliquae are fine quality but affordable. I won&#039;t swamp you&#039;re post with my examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though I do respectfully disagree with one thing in your article, which I enjoyed reading. You stated that the Battle of Adrianople caused the decline of the Western Empire, this is kind of true, like it showed the barbarians that Rome wasn&#039;t what it used to be and they became more ambitious,&nbsp; but as for military losses at Adrianople the Western Empire didn&#039;t lose any armies. There were some officers from the Western Roman Empire stationed in Valen&#039;s army, Magnus Maximus comes to mind, but aside from a few officers killed the Western Empire was left unscathed.</p><p>What doomed the Western Roman armies was the Civil wars of Maximus &amp; Theodosius I in 388 CE and Eugenius &amp; Theodosius in 394. Those two wars saw the cream of the crop of the Western Army destroyed or reassigned to the Eastern Empire by Theodosius after the Battle of the Save and Frigidus River.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
