On the 31th December 406 AD, Vandels, Alans and Suevew crossed into the Roman Empire for the first time.
On this night, the Rhine froze solid in the Mainz area. For my this date marks the begining of the Fall of the Empire.
They move westward into the empire. They isolated Britannia from Rome. First, Rome withdrew the 2 legions, one at a time. By 410AD, undefended, Roman rule ended in Britannia.
An interesting date. The fall of empires are always interesting times.
