About this person
After campaigning against the Brisgavi, who had been rendered leaderless after the murder of their king Vithicabius, Valentinian conducted a revenge campaign against Rando. Rando entrenched himself at a high-altitude fortress and continued his campaign against the Romans. In an ambush at the Battle of Solicinium, Rando almost succeeded in killing Valentinian. Rando's army, encamped on a towering mountain, was soon surrounded by Valentinian's forces. After the Romans scaled the northern slope, the Alemanni fled, taking heavy casualties.
