Brumath, Battle of

Years: 356 - 356

The Battle of Brumath in 356 is part of Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate's campaigns against the Germanic tribes.

Following the Battle of Reims, Julian's forces pursue several Germanic war bands through the Gallic countryside.

Outside Brocomagus (Brumath), one war band meets Julian in open battle and the Romans are victorious.

Although casualties are not numerous, the Germanic defeat is sufficiently great to have a deterrent effect on other tribal groups in the area, and to partially restore order.

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered."

― George Orwell, 1984 (1948)
