Emperor Septimius Severus marched into Asia against Pescennius Niger and defeated his rival’s army at Cyzicus, then pursued Niger himself into Bithynia. East of Nicaea, on modern Lake Iznik in northern Turkey, Niger was heavily defeated by the General Tiberius Claudius Candidus. Faced by the arrival of fresh Severan Legions, Niger withdrew to Antioch. He was routed later that year at Issus.
