The Battle of Placentia was fought in January 271 between a Roman army led by Emperor Aurelian and the Alamanni (actually the Juthungi tribe), near modern Piacenza. The Alamanni had invaded Italia, counting on the absence of the Roman Army, and sacked the city of Placentia. Emperor Aurelian, who was in Pannonia with an army to control the withdrawal of the Vandals, quickly moved into Italia. The Alamanni surprised the Roman Army with an ambush, and the Emperor was defeated.

  • The Battle of Placentia was fought in January 271 between a Roman army led by Emperor Aurelian and the Alamanni (actually the Juthungi tribe), near modern Piacenza. The Alamanni had invaded Italia, counting on the absence of the Roman Army, and sacked the city of Placentia. Emperor Aurelian, who was in Pannonia with an army to control the withdrawal of the Vandals, quickly moved into Italia. The Alamanni surprised the Roman Army with an ambush, and the Emperor was defeated. The news of this defeat produced great fear in Rome, and the Alamanni continued to move towards the capital, which had grown far beyond its old walls. The Sibylline Books were consulted, and religious ceremonies performed to call for the gods' help. The Romans escaped disaster when Emperor Aurelian soundly defeated the Alamanni at the Battle of Fano, leading to great celebration throughout the city.
  • Die Schlacht von Placentia wurde im Januar des Jahres 271 in der Nähe des heutigen Piacenza zwischen alamannischen Juthungen sowie römischen Soldaten unter Kaiser Aurelian ausgetragen. Hintergrund waren Grenzstreitigkeiten im heutigen Italien. Aurelian rückte mit seinem Heer gegen die alamannische Juthungen vor, die zuvor in Italien eingefallen waren. Bei den Kämpfen geriet Aurelian in einen Hinterhalt und sorgte durch uneinsichtiges Verhalten bezüglich eigener Kampfesstärke für seine eigene Niederlage. Sein Heer wurde von den Alamannen vernichtend geschlagen. Die Nachricht der Niederlage sorgte für große Verunsicherung in Rom. Besonders das damalige römische Finanzwesen war betroffen.
  • La battaglia di Piacenza fu combattuta nel gennaio 271 tra l'esercito romano guidato dall'imperatore Aureliano e gli Alemanni: lo scontro risultò in una vittoria alemannica. L'imperatore romano Aureliano si trovava lontano dall'Italia con l'esercito, a controllare l'evacuazione dei Vandali dal territorio imperiale dopo una vittoriosa campagna, quando gli Iutungi, una tribù degli Alamanni, decise di approfittare dell'assenza di forze a difesa dell'impero per saccheggiarlo: penetrarono allora nella Rezia, giungendo fino al lago di Costanza. Aureliano ripiegò immediatamente a difesa del cuore del suo impero e raggiunse gli Iutungi che erano penetrati nella pianura padana presso Placentia, che avevano appena saccheggiato e bruciato. Al crepuscolo, nei pressi di una area boscosa vicino Placentia, gli uomini di Aureliano, che avevano marciato ininterrotamente dai Balcani, caddero in una imboscata degli Iutungi e subirono perdite notevoli. Ecco come la racconta la Historia Augusta: La notizia della disfatta raggiunse rapidamente Roma: il panico che si creò in città fu ulteriormente aumentato quando si seppe che gli Alemanni si stavano dirigendo direttamente sulla Città Eterna; vennero consultati i Libri Sibillini e fatti sacrifici agli dei per la protezione della città, non difesa da alcun esercito. Il sacco di Roma ad opera degli Alemanni fu evitato grazie alle due vittorie conseguite da Aureliano a Fano e Pavia.
  • De slag bij Placentia vond plaats in januari 271, in de buurt van het moderne Piacenza tussen het Romeinse leger, onder leiding van keizer Aurelianus en de Alemannen. De veldslag werd door de Alemannen gewonnen.
  • Bitwa pod Piacenzą miała miejsce w roku 271 r. w trakcie walk Rzymian z Alamanami. Do bitwy doszło w pobliżu dzisiejszego miasta Piacenza we Włoszech. Dowodzeni przez cesarza Aureliana Rzymianie ulegli armii Alamanów. Jedną z przyczyn bitwy były konflikty graniczne w Italii. W roku 271 wojska Aureliana podjęły marsz przeciwko grupie Jutungów, którzy krótko wcześniej najechali Italię. W trakcie walk Aurelian wpadł w zastawioną przez Alamanów pułapkę. Cesarz uratował życie, jednak jego armia została całkowicie zniszczona przez Germanów. Wiadomość o klęsce wywołała wielki niepokój w Rzymie i problemy finansowe państwa.
