File Heruli seniores shield pattern.svg thumb The shield pattern of the Heruli seniores . The Heruli was an auxilia palatina light infantry unit of the Late Roman army , active between the 4th and the 5th century. It was composed by 500 soldiers and was the heir of those ethnic groups that were initially used as auxiliary units of the Roman army and later integrated in the Roman Empire after the Constitutio Antoniniana . Their name was derived from the people of the Heruli . In the sources they are usually recorded together with the Batavi military unit Batavi , and it is probable the two units fought together. At the beginning of the 5th century two related units are attested, the Heruli seniores in the West and the Heruli iuniores in the East. History The Heruli probably belonged to the army of the Caesar title Caesar Julian emperor Julian , and probably fought in the Battle of Strasbourg 357 , even if the sources do not mention them. In 360, before Julian received the order of sending most of his troops to emperor Constantius II of a campaign in the East, the Heruli , the Batavi military unit Batavi and two numeri Moesiacorum were sent in Britain under the command of Lupicinus , Julian s magister militum , probably to counter a rebellion.

about a Lombard king the Valencian pilota ri Jaume Morales Molt Tato died 510 an early 6th century and was a king of the Lombards . He was the son of Claffo and a king of the Lething Dynasty . According to Procopius the Lombards were subject to the Heruli at this time and paid tribute. In 508 he fought with king Rodolph of the Heruli who was slain. It was a devastating blow to the Heruli and augmented the power of the Lombards. Paul the Deacon gives an interesting story that the war was caused by Tato s daughter Rumetrada murdering Rodolph s brother. Tato was murdered by his nephew Wacho in 510 . Wacho or Waccho probably Waldchis was king of the Lombards before they entered Italy from an unknown date perhaps circa 510 until his death in 539. His father was Unichis. Wacho usurped the throne by assassinating or having assassinated his uncle, King Tato again, probably around 510 . Tato s son Ildchis fought with him and fled to the Gepids where he died. 1 Wacho had good relations with the Franks. Wacho married three times. His first marriage was to Radegund, daughter of Bisinus, King of the Thuringi. His second marriage was to Austrigusa, a Gepid possibly named after her maternal descent from Ostrogothic rulers. Austrigusa was the mother of two daughters Wisigarda who married Theudebert I of Austrasia and Waldrada who married firstly Theudebald of Austrasia, secondly Chlothar I, King of the Franks, and thirdly Garibald I of Bavaria . Wacho s third marriage was to Silinga, a Heruli mother of Waltari. According to some historians Josef Poul k , he was buried on hill ur , however, modern historians are not certain about it.

It was built about 15 BCE , occupying what had previously been open space in the centre of the agora. It was a gift to the people of Athens by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa , a Roman statesman and general. The two storey auditorium seated around 1,000 spectators and was equipped with a raised stage and marble paved orchestra. On three sides it was surrounded by a subterranean cryptoporticus with stoa stoae above. The building was decorated externally with Corinthian order Corinthian pilasters . The main entrance for spectators was originally on the south side of the building, with access from the terrace of the List of stoae Middle Stoa . The north facade only had a small portico to give access to the stage. Unfortunately the 25 metre of the auditorium eventually caused the roof to collapse in around 150 CE. The Odeon building Odeon was rebuilt as a smaller lecture hall, seating only 500 and a more elaborate facade was added to the north side. Its massive pillars were carved in the form of giants snake tails and tritons fish tails . The Odeon was finally destroyed in 267 CE by the Heruli Herulians . A sprawling palace was built on the site in the early 5th century CE with the pillars of the northern facade being used to create a monumental entrance.
