The Battle of Arelate was fought in 458 near Arelate (Arles) between Western Roman Emperor Majorian and Visigothic king Theodoric II. After the assassination of Flavius Aetius in 454, the Visigoths began to expand their kingdom at the expense of the crumbling Roman administration in Gaul and Hispania. When Majorian became emperor in 457, the Visigoths under king Theodoric II had just recently defeated the Suebic Kingdom in north-west Hispania and were consolidating their hold on the rest of the peninsula.

  • The Battle of Arelate was fought in 458 near Arelate (Arles) between Western Roman Emperor Majorian and Visigothic king Theodoric II. After the assassination of Flavius Aetius in 454, the Visigoths began to expand their kingdom at the expense of the crumbling Roman administration in Gaul and Hispania. When Majorian became emperor in 457, the Visigoths under king Theodoric II had just recently defeated the Suebic Kingdom in north-west Hispania and were consolidating their hold on the rest of the peninsula. Majorian, a young, capable general in his late thirties, inherited a collapsing empire consisting of only Italy, Dalmatia, and some fractured territories in northern Gaul. He decided the first step towards consolidating the empire would be to confront the Visigoths in Septimania. Traveling with his generals Aegidius and Nepotianus, Majorian encountered the Visigothic king and his army at Arelate, at the mouth of the Rhodanus River (Rhone). The ensuing battle was an overwhelming Gothic defeat. Theodoric II was forced to flee Arelate, abandon Septimania, and conclude a hasty peace treaty. The treaty returned all Visigothic territory in Hispania to the Romans, and the Visigoths were reduced to federate status. The battle allowed Majorian to campaign deeper in Gaul against the Burgundian Kingdom, and later in Hispania against the Suebic Kingdom. (en)
  • La Batalla de Arelate se libró en 458 cerca de Arelate (Arlés) entre las fuerzas del emperador romano de Occidente Mayoriano y el rey visigodo Teodorico II.​​ Después del asesinato de Flavio Aecio en 454, los visigodos empezaron para expandir su reino a expensas de los restos de administración romana en Galia e Hispania. Cuándo Mayoriano fue coronado emperador en 457, los visigodos liderados por el rey Teodorico II acababan de derrotar al reino suevo en el noroeste de Hispania y consolidaba su dominio del resto de la península.[cita requerida] Mayoriano, un general joven y capaz aún en la treintena, heredó un imperio reducido a Italia, Dalmatia y algunos territorios discontinuos en el norte de la Galia. Tomó como primer paso hacia consolidar el imperio el enfrontarse a los visigodos en Septimania. Junto con sus generales Egidio y , Mayoriano se enfrentó al rey visigodo y su ejército en Arelate, en la boca del Rhodanus (Ródano). La batalla que siguió fue una catástrofe para los godos: Teodorico hubo de huir de Arelate y abandonar Septimania, firmando un tratado de paz desfavorable que devolvía a los visigodo en Hispania a un estatus de federados. La batalla permitió a Mayoriano realizar posteriores incursiones en la Galia contra el reino burgundio. (es)
