The Battle of Fano - also known as the Battle of Fanum Fortunae - was fought in January 271 between the Roman Empire and the Alamanni. The Romans were led by Emperor Aurelian, and they were victorious. Aurelian had been defeated by the Alamanni at the Battle of Placentia in January 271, but he had rallied his men, and started pursuing the Alamanni, who were quickly moving towards a defenceless Rome.

  • The Battle of Fano - also known as the Battle of Fanum Fortunae - was fought in January 271 between the Roman Empire and the Alamanni. The Romans were led by Emperor Aurelian, and they were victorious. Aurelian had been defeated by the Alamanni at the Battle of Placentia in January 271, but he had rallied his men, and started pursuing the Alamanni, who were quickly moving towards a defenceless Rome. Finally, the Roman Army caught and forced a fight with the Alamanni on the Metaurus River, just inland of Fano. The crucial moment of the battle was when the Alamanni got pinned against the river, so that, when the Germanic line was forced to give way, many Alamanni fell in the river and drowned.
  • Die Schlacht bei Fano wurde im Jahre 271 in der Nähe des heutigen Fano in Italien zwischen Alamannen und Römern unter Kaiser Aurelian ausgetragen. Nach seiner Niederlage auf der Schlacht von Placentia besiegte Aurelian die Alamannen. Die Nachricht seines Sieges sorgte in Rom für eine große Erleichterung.
  • La battaglia di Fano fu combattuta nel 271 tra l'esercito romano guidato dall'imperatore Aureliano e gli Alemanni: lo scontro risultò in una vittoria romana. La battaglia combattuta a Fano, nei pressi del Metauro fu la seconda dello scontro tra Romani e Alemanni seguito all'invasione del 271 del territorio romano da parte della popolazione germanica. Gli Alemanni, che si erano trovati di fronte il nuovo imperatore Aureliano, avevano avuto ragione dei propri avversari nella battaglia di Piacenza, in cui avevano sorpreso e sbaragliato le truppe di Aureliano; si erano poi diretti verso sud, passando per le Marche, ma ignorando le città costiere si diressero verso Roma. Appena lasciata la via costiera nei pressi di Fanum Fortunae, imboccando la via Flaminia lungo il corso del Metauro, furono costretti allo scontro per una seconda volta da Aureliano, il quale aveva ricompattato il proprio esercito e inseguito gli invasori. L'imperatore romano costrinse gli Alemanni a schierarsi con il fiume alle spalle: quando riuscì a far arretrare le linee degli Iutungi, molti nemici caddero nel fiume annegando. Gli Alemanni riuscirono, malgrado le perdite, a fuggire verso nord, tornando per la via Emilia per la quale erano discesi, portando con sé molto del bottino che avevano fatto per strada. Aureliano li incalzò, raggiungendoli nei pressi di Pavia, dove li sconfisse definitivamente.
  • De slag bij Fano vond plaats in het voorjaar van 271 bij Fano aan de Italiaanse oostkust, tussen het Romeinse leger, onder aanvoering van keizer Aurelianus en de Alemannen en werd gewonnen door het Romeinse leger.
  • Bitwa pod Fano miała miejsce w roku 271 r. w trakcie walk Rzymian z Alamanami. Do starcia Rzymian pod wodzą cesarza Aurelian i Alamanów doszło w pobliżu dzisiejszego miasta Fano (Fanum Fortunae), krótko po porażce w bitwie pod Piacenzą (Placentią). Bitwa zakończyła się zwycięstwem wojsk Aureliana i oddaleniem zagrożenia germańskiego od Rzymu. Literatura Karlheinz Fuchs, Martin Kempa: Die Alamannen (Ausstellungskatalog).
