Already contemporaries wondered what caused such a terrible disaster. Someone accused the soldiers of cowardice and licentiousness, and their commanders-of inability to train their subordinates, someone, on the contrary, admired the courage and courage of those and others, blaming the unfortunate combination of circumstances in everything. Many researchers of the New Age believe that the outcome of the battle was predetermined by some technical and tactical innovations, to which the Goths and their allies resorted to ... more correctly, however, it would be a question not why the Roman army was defeated in one battle, and why this battle had so much Passionate consequences for the entire Roman world and essentially put an end to the centuries -old history of Roman military domination.
