During a disputed succession in Rome (resolved at Mediolanum) Alemanni tribesmen crossed the Alps into northern Italy. On the shores of Lake Benacus (modern Lake Garda) they were met and decisively defeated by new Emperor Claudius II, who then returned to the Balkans to meet the Goths at Nish. The Alemanni later invaded again and won a bloody victory in 271 at Placentia.
