From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Catholic saint of the same name, see Saint Lupicinus.

Lupicinus was a Roman lieutenant of Valens in Thrace in the late fourth century AD. [1]

His reputed poor treatment of the Thervingi Goths under Fritigern lead to the Gothic Wars, and the Battle of Adrianople.
