Events

Spring: The Roman Empire begins a campaign against the Germanic Marcomanni , who, under their King Marbod , have allied themselves with the Hermundures , Lombards , Semnones and Vandals and who have an army of around 74,000 men in the area of what will later become Bohemia. Tiberius Caesar Augustus is supposed to push north with six legions from Carnuntum , while Gaius Sentius Saturninus is pushing east across the Rhine with six other legions.
Late spring: Pannonian uprising : While Tiberius is gathering his legions in Pannonia , which had been conquered a few years earlier , there are uprisings of the Celtic Boier . While the revolt in the south can soon be put down, the Boier, under their leaders Bato and Pinnes, are tying up more and more Roman troops. The campaign led by Tiberius against the Germanic Marcomanni is thus thwarted.
