Historically, the year 376 CE is notable for the crisis facing the late Roman Empire. It marked the beginning of a large-scale movement of Visigoths into Roman territory after crossing the Danube, as they sought asylum from pressure by the Huns. The ensuing events led to a prolonged Gothic conflict with the Roman state, contributing to the broader period of instability that culminated in later confrontations, including the decisive Battle of Adrianople in 378 CE and the ongoing Gothic War in the subsequent years. The year is often cited in discussions of the civil and military challenges that affected the Western Roman Empire during this era.
