 Meanwhile, Valentinian continued to recruit heavily from Alamanni friendly to Rome.He sent the Alamannic king Fraomarius, as a Tribune, to Britain in 372-373 with an army in order to replenish troops there and made the noblemen Bitheridius and Hortarius commanders in his army although Hortarius was soon executed for conspiring with Macrian.Valentinian’s Alamannic campaigns, however, were hampered by troubles first in Africa, and later on the Danube river.
