Ave Civitas,
Very good information, Tormenta. Thanks.
As for the plumbata, that road ran through the Julian Limes and I would guess that there were many battles and skirmishes fought there.
Do you know if any of those finds (plumbata) were dated to late 4th, early 5th centuries?
About the valley from Castrum to Ad Pirum, a river runs through there. If that were the battle's location, I wonder why it wasn't called the battle of Bela River?
There is also a comment by at least one historian that Alaric led Roman forces down a narrow valley with archers on both sides (Aiding in the Defense). I don't see such a narrow defile between Castrum and Ad Pirum.
Thanks for the good informantion.
Tom
