Italy  (North)
When Gaius Trajanus Decius successfully put down a rebellion on the Danube, Roman Emperor Philip I appointed his General to take command in the area, where the troops promptly elected him Emperor. Philip gathered his army to punish the usurper but was defeated and killed near Verona in northern Italy. Decius was formally recognised as Emperor.
