196 CE

Troops loyal to the slain imperial claimant Pescennius Niger continue to occupy Byzantium, a valuable port of the Roman Empire.

Following a protracted siege, Septimius Severus, now Roman emperor, virtually destroys the city in 196, but later rebuilds it; it will quickly regain its previous prosperity.
