When Alemanni tribesmen invaded northern Italy, they defeated Emperor Aurelian at Placentia and advanced southwards towards Rome. On the Metaurus at Fano, however, Aurelian’s regrouped forces caught the invaders and inflicted a decisive defeat. The capital was saved and Aurelian pursued the Alemanni back north, where he caught and annihilated the survivors at Pavia (Battle of Ticinum).
