The Iazyges defeat and kill Marcus Claudius …

Years: 170 - 170

The Iazyges defeat and kill Marcus Claudius Fronto, Roman governor of Lower Moesia, in 170.

Operating from Sirmium (today Sremska Mitrovica, Vojvodina, Serbia) on the Sava river, Marcus Aurelius moves against the Iazyges personally.

After hard fighting, the Iazyges are pressed to their limits.

However, while the Roman army is entangled in this campaign, making little headway, several tribes use the opportunity to cross the frontier and raid Roman territory.
