Gothic war against Aegidius

The Gothic War against Aegidius is a relatively obscure episode from late Antiquity. The war took place in Gaul (present-day France) during the chaotic years before the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Information about this war is scarce and fragmented. Priscus is seen as the main source of the military campaigns against Aegidius. His writings have been largely lost, but fragmentarily handed down by later authors such as Jordanes, Gregory of Tours and Marius of Avenches. Furthermore, Hydatius gives a chronological statement of the events and the letters of Sidonius Apollinaris give insight into the relations between the Roman elite and the Germanic rulers. This makes it possible to reconstruct the course of the war, albeit summarily.
