60,000 Men. One Mistake. The End of Rome. (Battle of Adrianople)

60,000 Romans. One massive, pride-fueled mistake. This is the story of the day Rome forgot how to win. On August 9th, 378 AD, Emperor Valens led the elite core of the Roman army into a furnace. Driven by vanity and a desperate need for glory, he ignored his scouts, his generals, and the exhaustion of his own men. He didn't see the trap until the Gothic cavalry appeared on the horizon like a dark tide. This isn't just a military history; it's the personal account of Trajan, a young soldier trapped in an "iron tomb," and a letter that survived 1,600 years to tell us the truth: The empire didn't just lose—it broke.
