Politics and world events
Roman Empire
- Imperial crisis of the 3rd century : January: Just a few months after his significant victory over the Goths , in which he had saved the Roman Empire from an invasion by the 300,000-strong horde, Emperor Claudius Gothicus fell ill with the plague during a campaign against the Vandals . He dies that same month. On his deathbed he supposedly names the commander of the cavalry Aurelian as his successor. However, the Roman Senate names Claudius' brother Quintillus . Aurelian then names himself counter-emperor.
- April: Emperor Quintillus, who has holed up in Aquileia , succeeds in defeating the imperial troops under Aurelian. Quintillus dies in Aquileia under unknown circumstances. Aurelian then has himself confirmed as emperor by the Roman Senate. He later determined the day of Claudius' death to be the first day of his reign and thus represented Quintillus as the opposing emperor.
- The Romans give up the city of Traiectum, today's Utrecht , due to continued attacks by Teutons . Written evidence about the city does not appear again until around 500.
- After seven months of siege by the emperor of the Imperium Galliarum , the renegade city of Augustodunum Haeduorum (Autun) is stormed, looted and partially destroyed. Emperor Victorinus returns in triumph to his residence Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium .
