160 CE to 171 CE

Marcus Aurelius will personally command regions near the Danube from 167 to his death, trying, with only partial success, to control the advance of Germanic peoples across the river.

A major offensive against the Marcomanni is postponed until 169 because of a shortage of imperial troops.
