Although Probus was only recognized in a few eastern provinces, and had a much smaller army, he quickly outmaneuvered and deposed Florian to become the sole emperor in September 276. #thirdcentury #3rdcentury #antiquity #ancientrome #aegyptus #europe #europeanhistory #historias #historicalmaps #historyclass #historyfacts #historygram #historylesson #historymaker #map #mapmaking #maps #romansyria #phoenicia #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romanemperor #spqr #teachinghistory #worldatlas #newmap (at Antioch, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNcDl1_AFUv/?igshid=1aadq0dt0agpe

NEW MAP: Europe 194: Second Battle of Issus (31 Mar 194) https://buff.ly/2ZOoN0s In May 193 Septimius Severus invaded Italy, overthrowing Didius Julianus with the approval of the Senate. Meanwhile Severus persuaded Clodius Albinus to side with him by promising to make him his heir. This left Pescennius Niger, who remained strong in the east and had recently established himself in Byzantium. Besieging Byzantium (which would hold out for over two years), Severus chased Niger back towards Syria, decisively defeating him at Second Battle of Issus in March 194. #ancient #2ndcentury #ancientrome #issus #byzantium #bithynia #romansyria #militaryhistory #romanbritain #europe #europeanhistory #ancientworld #historias #historybuff #historyfacts #historygram #historyteacher #mapmaking #maps #march #march31 #oldmaps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #severus #newmap (at İssos Otel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxAgrKAhNR/?igshid=134g12x1q3uqs
