Perhaps someone can clear this up for me. Early in the article it is stated:

   Rome came into collision with barbarian peoples never heard before. Specifically the Burgundians, the Saxons and the Alamanni.

While not thoroughly versed in Valentinian's reign or the Alamanni's travels, I'd like to point out that the Alamanni had already repeatedly fought Rome. I'd point to many previous emperor's articles, including Constantius Chlorus'. I wanted to check to see what was thought before changing anything.

• I removed the part that states 'never of (sic) heard before'. The Burgundians (Burgundi) lived on the borders of the empire, so I think that it's unlikely that the Romans were unaware of their presence. EvilOverlordX 20:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
