Marcomannic Wars
The Marcomannic Wars were a series of wars lasting over thirty years during the reign of Marcus Aurelius from about AD 166 until 180, which pitted the Roman Empire against the Marcomanni, Quadi and other Germanic peoples along the Danube. The war began in 166, when Marcus Aurelius' co-emperor returned from Rome's eastern territories after the defeat of the Parthians, bringing back loot and plague.
