Could this be considered to be part of the Gothic War (377–382)? --Saforrest 05:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes. It was the first major battle (of about 4). -- Stbalbach 05:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Isn't it at least the second? By my count:
  1. Marcianople
  2. Mutiny at Adrianople (minor)
  3. One Gothic Army bottled up in the Haemus
  4. Ad Salices
  5. Collapse of the cordon on the Haemus (with skirmish at Dibaltum)
  6. Frigeridus's retreat (and ambush of Farnobius)
  7. Adrianople
