427 CE

Aetius arrives with an army of roughly forty thousand in southern Gaul in 427 to find Arelate, an important city in Septimania near the mouth of the Rhone, under siege from the Visigoths led by their king Theodoric I. Aetius defeats Theodoric, lifts the siege, and drives the Visigoths back to their holdings in Aquitania.
