Maximus Magnus immediately crosses to the continent …
Years: 383 - 383
Maximus Magnus immediately crosses to the continent to confront Gratian, who, upon hearing that Maximus had been proclaimed emperor in Britain, had rushed into Gaul to intercept the usurper.
Maximus wins over his rival's advancing troops, who desert their emperor.
Seeking to escape beyond the Alps, Gratian is treacherously murdered on August 25 in Lugdunum, Lugdunensis (now Lyon, France) by the Goth Andragathius, Maximus's magister equitum (cavalry commander and lieutenant).
Ausonius retires to his estates near Burdigala.
