Bassianae, Battle of

Years: 468 - 468

The Battle of Bassianae is a battle between Ostrogoths and Huns in 468.

Recovering from the defeat at Nedao in 454, the Hunnic leader Dengizich launches an invasion across the Danube with a large Hun force, but is defeated by the Ostrogothic king Valamir.

Jordanes writes that in turn the Huns "for ever after" left the Goths in peace.

"In fact, if we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex."
