The Battle of Brumath was part of Emperor Julian's campaigns against the Germanic tribes. Following the Battle of Reims, Julian pursued Germanic warbands through the Gallic countryside. Outside Brotomagum (Brumath) one war band met Julian in open battle and defeated the Germans. Although the casualties were not massive, the fact of the Germannic defeat was sufficiently, Goldsworthy argues, to have a deterrent effect on other tribal groups in the area, and to partially restore order to the area^[1].
