NEW MAP: Europe 296: Battle of Calleva Atrebatum (September 296) https://buff.ly/2SXPm25 With the establishment of the Tetrarchy, Constantius took command in Gaul and immediately moved against Carausius, who he expelled from the major Gallic port of Gesoriacum in the summer of 293. However, it would be another three years before Constantius was ready to launch a fleet to cross the Channel and land two armies on the British coast. Carausius’ successor Allectus moved against the invaders, but was defeated near Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester), bringing an end to almost ten years of rebel rule in Britain. #thirdcentury #diocletian #ancientrome #cartography #romanbritain #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #historia #historie #history #historydegree #historylover #historynerd #constantius #mapmaking #maps #oldmaps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romaninvasion #englishhistory #ancientbritain #britishhistory #welovemaps #newmap (at Calleva Atrebatum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPsQ1IOA6k4/?utm_medium=tumblr

NEW MAP: Europe 283: Carus’ Persian campaign (July 283) https://buff.ly/3e5hPeg In late 282 Probus was assassinated and succeeded by Carus. Learning that the Persians were in civil war, Carus rushed east with his army, placing his son Carinus in charge of the West. Carus’ invasion of Persia proved to be a great success—that is, until he fell ill and was apparently struck dead by lightning in the summer of 283. #thirdcentury #3rdcentury #ancientrome #carta #europe #europeanhistory #historia #histories #historybuff #historygeek #historyteacher #instahistory #map #mapa #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #sasanian #sasanid #persianempire #ancientpersia #lightningstrikes #romanmilitary #teachinghistory #welovehistory #newmap (at Ctesiphon) https://www.instagram.com/p/COTkJt0AYNF/?igshid=1sz5tdqymf6mn

NEW MAP: Europe 269: Battle of Lake Benacus (winter 268/269) https://omniatlas.com/maps/europe/2690225/ In September 268, while suppressing Aureolus’ revolt, Gallienus was assassinated by his generals. He was succeeded by the general Claudius, who immediately finished off Aureolus only to face a renewed Alemannic invasion of Italy. Claudius defeated the Alemanni at Lake Benacus, and drove them back north, but the empire he now ruled remained heavily embattled. #3rdcentury #thirdcentury #alemanni #ancientrome #carta #europe #europeanhistory #gallienus #claudiusgothicus #historical #historybuff #historygram #historylesson #historylover #italy #map #maps #militaryhistory #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #spqr #imperialrome #romans #romanemperor #uppergermania #newmap (at Lake Garda, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7lb6Mgn3d/?igshid=p2qz1cdfpfw9

NEW MAP: Europe 175: Avidius Cassius’ Revolt (03 May 175) https://buff.ly/3bOPwNH Marcus Aurelius defeated the Marcomanni and their allies in a series of campaigns from 171–5. Just as he was crushing the last of his enemies, rumors of Marcus’ death—allegedly fuelled by his wife Faustina—encouraged Avidius Cassius, governor of Syria, to proclaim himself emperor. However, as it became clear that Marcus was alive and marching south, the revolt collapsed and Cassius was murdered by his own men. #ancient #ancientrome #cartography #marcomanni #aegyptus #romanegypt #egypt #europe #europeanhistory #historical #histories #historygeek #historygram #historylesson #historymaker #historynerd #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romanhistory #romans #spqr #caesar #romanemperor #egyptianhistory #marcusaurelius #newmap (at Alexandria, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_o1rVlAkjl/?igshid=1v4lgba0i2ny0
