Events 370s – Young Augustine of Hippo

Augustine of Hippo

Roman Empire

  • Germanic Invasions: The German peoples surround the north borders of the Roman Empire, while the Huns are destroying everything in their path–villages, cities, even empires.
  • A law of Valentinian I and Valens bans marriages between Romans and barbarians under penalty of death.
  • An edict issued by Valentinian I and Valens bans the importation of wine and olive oil from areas controlled by the barbarians.
  • Gothic WarFamine in Lower Moesia (occupied by the Goths) takes a fearsome toll. Fritigern and his followers appeal for help, but the governors Lupicinus and Maximus regard them as second-class citizens. Little help is forthcoming, and thousands starve to death. The pressure on the Roman frontier is still severe, with the Taifali and other hostile bands of Goths on the Danube. In addition, groups of Huns and Alans have also moved up to the river.
