July 193 CE
…Nicaea in 193, whereupon Niger's army successfully withdraws to the Taurus mountains, where it fiercely defends the Cilician pass.
At this time the commander of the Severan troops, Tiberius Claudius Candidus, is replaced by Publius Cornelius Anullinus, perhaps due to the failure of the former to prevent the withdrawal of the rival army.
