Emperor Aurelian quickly recovered from defeat at Placentia to rout an invading army of Alemanni tribesmen on the east coast of Italy at Fano. The invaders started to return north with Aurelian in pursuit and, at the city of Pavia (Ticinum) south of Milan, he crushed the remaining Alemanni forces, effectively ending the threat to Rome. The Emperor then turned his attention to Palmyra.
