UNRV list of Roman enemies

 

I noticed that there were a few gaps and missing leaders. One I do recall is from:

 

There was Chrocus (named by Gregory of Tours) who was king of the Alamanni. They launched a major invasion of Gaul and northern Italy in 268, when the Romans were forced to denude much of their German frontier of troops in response to a massive invasion of the Goths. Fortunately, Claudius II Gothicus defeated them and so did Aurelian. (note: Chrocus was later an ally of Julius Constantius in 308)

 

411AD-436AD: In 411AD, Gundahar was king of the Burgundians. He was an ally of Rome by foederati and Honorius granting the Burgundians land. Burgundian raids into Roman Upper Gallia Belgica vexed the Romans and it become intolerable to the Roman general Aetius who called in Hun mercenaries(including Atila) to crush the Burgundians and which they did so in 436AD.

 

I'll try to see if I can dig up any other major enemies from the sources.
