<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2505140, member: 73473&quot;]I am certain that he probably campaigned quite a bit during these five years, but we only know of two instances of Roman campaigns across the Rhine at the time. The first was in 384 against the Franks which I presume went well as they didn&#039;t cause any trouble for a number of years. </p><p>The second and last was under the two Generals Maximus had left at Trier while he invaded Italy. The Generals (Quintinus and Nannienus) defeated a number of barbarian raids and managed to slaughter a large number of Franks in the Black Forrest. Though Nannienus led a force across the Rhine afterwards and was badly defeated. The raids and counter raids continued until 390ish when Arborgast who was a Romanized frank, marched an army to intimidate the Germans into submission. So yes, I think the campaign by Magnus Maximus in 384 was the last time a Roman Emperor would wage war across the Rhine[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
