The
Battle of Argentovaria or
Battle of Argentaria was fought in May 378 between the
Western Roman Empire and the invading army of the
Lentienses, a branch of the
Alamanni, at Argentovaria (near
Colmar, France). The Alemanni were overwhelmed by the Roman legionaries, though they stood their ground bravely. Only 5,000 escaped from the field and Priarius was slain. With this defeat, the Lentienses disappear from history.
