The Battle of Abritus: Historic Gothic Victory Over Rome

The Battle of Abritus was not a decisive turning point in Rome's history, but it was a telling blow against the former might of the empire. In the past, except for a few extraordinary cases, the Roman army led by the emperor was usually victorious and was recognized as a formidable fighting force. At the Battle of Abritus, however, the army, under the experienced leadership of Decius, was destroyed, and the emperor and his successor were killed in an engagement which the Romans had every reason to believe should have gone the other way.

"For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground

And tell sad stories of the death of kings;

How some have been deposed; some slain in war,

Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;

Some poison’d by their wives: some sleeping kill’d;"

"All murder’d: for within the hollow crown

That rounds the mortal temples of a king

Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,

Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp."

Today we celebrate the memory of the Holy Virginmartyr Calliope. Saint Calliope was arrested for being a Christian and was brought before the Roman Emperor Decius. Falling in love with her beauty, he offered her his hand in marriage if only she were to deny her faith. She ardently refused, saying that she had betrothed herself to Christ and would never deny Him. Enraged at her response, the emperor ordered her tortured and beheaded. May the Virginmartyr Calliope intercede for us all + #saint #calliope #kalliope #kalliopi #virginmartyr #martyr #emperor #romanemperor #decius #martyrdom #christian #christ #jesus #jesuschrist #faith #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CehPNulP7tq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
