NEW MAP: Europe 276: Marcus Claudius Tacitus (early 276) https://buff.ly/3sFZ99Q In late 275 the Roman Senate ended the post-Aurelian interregnum by appointing the aged Marcus Claudius Tacitus as emperor. Tacitus soon faced serious challenges: that winter Germanic tribes invaded Gaul while the Heruli overran much of Asia Minor. He defeated the Heruli in 276, but died—probably assassinated—while returning west, after a reign of just six months. #thirdcentury #asiaminor #ancientrome #bithynia #cappadocia #carta #europe #europeanhistory #gothic #galatia #goths #historical #historicalmaps #histories #historybuff #historymajor #historymaker #historynerd #lowergermania #romanemperor #maps #militaryhistory #pontus #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #spqr #uppergermania #newmap (at Ankara, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJ-a7uAsvT/?igshid=5bw89dvop1hq
