Lucius Postumius Albinus ( consul 234 BC ) Lucius Postumius Albinus ( died 216 BC ) was a Roman politician and general of the 3rd century BC who was elected consul three times . Most of our knowledge about his career and his demise comes from Livy ' s " Ab Urbe Condita " . Biography . Albinus was a member of the patrician " gens Postumia " , and the son of Aulus Postumius Albinus , consul in 242 BC . He was elected consul for the first time in 234 BC , during which he campaigned against the Ligures . It has been conjectured that he was then elected Praetor for the first time in following year ( 233 BC ) . Albinus was then elected consul for a second time in 229 BC , during which he and his consular colleague Gnaeus Fulvius Centumalus were engaged in a war against the Illyrian queen Teuta . Albinus commanded the land forces , and gained a number of significant victories during the year . He captured Apollonia and then went to the relief of Epidamnos and Issa , forcing the Illyrians to abandon both sieges . He also managed to subdue a number of local Illyrian tribes before returning to Epidamnos . Albinus was granted a pro - consular extension to his command in 228 BC after his term ended in order to conclude the peace treaty with the Illyrians . Once it had been concluded , he sent legates to the Aetolian League and Achaean League , where they explained the reasons for the war and the Roman invasion , as well as the terms of the treaty with Queen Teuta . Upon his return to Rome , while his colleague had been granted a triumph , he was not permitted to celebrate one for this victory upon his return . Albinus disappears from the historical record during the next decade , but resurfaced in 216 BC , with the Second Punic War in full swing . The Romans , finding themselves short of experienced military commanders , were forced to recall men such as Albinus to serve during this period of crisis . Consequently Albinus , who was not even in Rome for the election , was elected praetor for the second time , and given command of the province of Gallia Cisalpina . He led his army of two legions plus reinforcements against the Celtic Boii , who had risen in revolt and declared for Hannibal . During his term as praetor , he was elected consul for the year 215 , in absentia whilst on campaign . However he did not live to officially enter consulship . While travelling through the Litana Silva forest in Gallia Cisalpina , Albinus was ambushed by a force of Boii warriors who annihilated most of his soldiers . Albinus and the remainder of the legions tried to escape over a nearby bridge , but they were slaughtered by a Boian detachment who guarded the crossing . The consul - elect was decapitated , and his skull was then clad in gold and made into a sacrificial bowl . As Livy tells us : When news of Albinus ’ death reached Rome , it caused such an alarm that the shops were closed and hardly anyone ventured out of their homes . The Senate ordered the aedile s to go around the city and order the citizens to re - open their shops and stop the unofficial public mourning . Albinus ’ replacement as consul was Marcus Claudius Marcellus .
Akashi Castle This castle was constructed by Ogasawara Tadazane as his own castle from 1617 to 1619 to watch over the western lords , by the order of Tokugawa Hidetada , on Mount Akamatsu . The castle was built in one year , which was a relatively short amount of time . This was done so quickly because as a result of a 1615 law mandating one castle per clan , many castles were dismantled and parts of some were used to construct Akashi Castle . The castle was built in Akashi , which was an important strategic point between Osaka and western Japan , where many major tozama daimyo had their feudal estates . Akashi Castle was expected to play the role of a key staging point to stop a hypothetical invasion of Osaka . Akashi castle underwent major repairs in 1739 , and was demolished by the Meiji Government in 1874 . Cultural Property . In Akashi Castle , there are two Important Cultural Properties selected by Japanese government : These two " yagura " , or towers , are the castle ' s only remaining buildings .

Grenz infantry Grenz infantry or Grenzers ( ) were light infantry troops who came from the Croatian and Transylvanian Military Frontier in Habsburg Monarchy ( later the Austrian Empire and Austria - Hungary ) . This borderland formed a buffer zone between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire , and the troops were originally raised to defend Austria against the Ottoman Turks . When there was no danger of war against the Ottomans , the Grenzer regiments were employed by the Habsburgs in other theatres of war , although one battalion of each regiment would always remain guarding the border . Origin . Grenzers were the successors to the irregular army of Pandurs , which were also raised as a militia by the Habsburgs in the 18th century to defend the border with the Ottomans and also used as skirmishers in the Seven Years ' War . However , by the time of the Napoleonic Wars , troops from the Frontier were now formed into more regular line infantry regiments , but were considered by the Austrian generals as something between light and line infantry . They were given training in marksmanship , skirmishing and the basics of linear tactics . At the start of the war , the 18 Grenz infantry regiments formed about a quarter of the Habsburg army . However , the Grenzers were first and foremost skirmishing troops and were thought not to perform as well in the role of line infantry as the regular regiments . As such , many in the Austrian military command did not hold them in much esteem . Following a mutiny in 1800 , their numbers were reduced from 57 , 000 to only 13 , 000 . Despite this , the Grenz infantry performed consistently well in battle , especially at Marengo and Austerlitz , earning them respect from the French . Napoleon held them in high opinion and considered them as the most warlike troops in the entire Austrian army . He had no hesitation in using the Grenz infantry after Austria ' s defeat in the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809 . The Treaty of Schönbrunn compelled Austria to cede territory in the Military Frontier and the 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 10th and 11th Grenz Infantry Regiments went into French service . They fought for Napoleon until his defeat and abdication in 1814 . During the 19th century , the threat from the Ottoman Turks diminished and there was less need for troops to defend the Frontier . Also , with rise of South Slav nationalism and self - determination , the Austrian high command grew suspicious of the Grenz infantry and a possible uprising . With these factors , the number of Grenz infantry were steadily reduced , although they remained in service in the Austrian and later Austro - Hungarian army until the First World War .
