Person
Priarius
Priarius was king of the Alemannic Lentienses. In early 378, learning that much of the Western Roman army had been sent east, his people crossed the frozen Rhine into Alsace, but they were defeated by Gratian's generals Nannienus and Mallobaudes at Argentovaria. Priarius, described by Ammianus Marcellinus as the instigator of the attack, was killed in the battle.
