167 CE
A force of six thousand Langobardi and Lacringi had invaded Pannonia in late 166 or early 167.
Local forces (vexillations of the Legio I Adiutrix commanded by Candidus and the Ala I Ulpia Contariorum commanded by Vindex) had defeated the invasion with relative ease, but they mark the beginning of what is to come.
In their aftermath, the military governor of Pannonia, Marcus Iallius Bassus, initiates negotiations with eleven tribes.
The Marcomannic king Ballomar (r. 166 –178), a Roman client, acts in these negotiations as a mediator.
In the event, a truce is agreed upon and the tribes withdraw from Roman territory, but no permanent agreement is reached.
