The Battle of Langres was fought in the year 298 in the area of the Gallic tribe of the Lingones the modern city of Langres between Alemanni and Romans under Emperor Constantius I..

The dispute began with a defeat for Constantius: It was surprising, and only by a small force accompanied by a host of Alamanni attacked and put to flight. In the nearby Roman town Andemattunum the wounded emperor was saved only by the fact that he climbed using a rope over the city walls - the gates were already closed. However, the subsequent siege lasted just five hours, because soon the Roman relief force reached the city and made 60,000 Alemanni settled - a number that could soon lead to an exaggeration of the Roman historians to make the Roman victory appear glamorous.
