Irene Hahn, Ancient/Classical History forum co-host, has written a review of
The Day of the Barbarians: The Battle That Led to the Fall of the Roman Empire,
by Alessandro Barbero, which dates the fall of Rome to the battle the Roman emperor Valens lost at Adrianople in 378 A.D. [See Valens and the Battle of Adrianople.] Irene writes:
Th[e] introductory sentence puts the author firmly in the camp of early dating of the fall of Rome, and he sets out to prove it to his own satisfaction in this concise history of the events leading up to the battle of Adrianople, the battle itself, and the aftermath.

Dear Ms. Gill,
I am glad to inform you that after launching my site http://www.historiaclasica.com at the beginning of the year, I have reached the number of 400 published posts.
As you can imagine by taking a look at its name, this site is about Ancient and Classical History. Written in Spanish, it has been able to attract a (humble for your standards, but precious to me) audience of 20,000 monthly visitors.
I would appreciate if you would be so kind as to take this information into account in one of your articles.
A loyal RSS reader,
