Introduction
In History’s Great Military Blunders and the Lessons They Teach, you will study these crucibles of history to gain a better understanding of why a civilisation took, or did not take, a particular path.
Outline
Although waged 400 years apart, the battles of Adrianople and Pliska share a number of curious similarities. Explore how both defeats were triggered by the Romans’ mistreatment of immigrant “barbarian” groups from the north-who might otherwise have been converted into allies-and overconfidence on the part of the Roman emperors.
