October 269 CE
Claudius, having earned the title Gothicus by repelling the Goths' invasion of the Balkans in 269, meanwhile campaigns successfully against the Goths in the east.
Allied to the Goths are the Gepids, a Germanic tribe that had lived on the southern Baltic coast in the first century CE, having migrated there from southern Sweden some years earlier, and again migrated southward during the second century.
The emperor gives captives the choice of settlement in the Danubian provinces or service in the Roman army.
