Thessalonica, Battle of

Years: 380 - 380

The Battle of Thessalonica is fought in the summer or autumn of 380 by Fritigern's Goths and a Roman army led by Theodosius I.

Reconstituted after Adrianople, the Eastern Roman army suffers another major defeat.

Theodosius retreats to Thessalonica and surrenders control of operations to the Western Emperor, Gratian.
