Years: 260 - 260
The Juthungi, an Alemannic tribe in the region north of the rivers Danube and Altmühl in the modern German state of Bavaria, invade Italy in the winter of 259–260, but on their way back they are defeated near Augsburg on April 24–25, 260 by Marcus Simplicinius Genialis (this is recorded on a Roman memorial stone found in 1992).
At this time the Roman Empire loses the Limes area in this region.
