NEW MAP: Europe 276: Marcus Claudius Tacitus (early 276) https://buff.ly/3sFZ99Q In late 275 the Roman Senate ended the post-Aurelian interregnum by appointing the aged Marcus Claudius Tacitus as emperor. Tacitus soon faced serious challenges: that winter Germanic tribes invaded Gaul while the Heruli overran much of Asia Minor. He defeated the Heruli in 276, but died—probably assassinated—while returning west, after a reign of just six months. #thirdcentury #asiaminor #ancientrome #bithynia #cappadocia #carta #europe #europeanhistory #gothic #galatia #goths #historical #historicalmaps #histories #historybuff #historymajor #historymaker #historynerd #lowergermania #romanemperor #maps #militaryhistory #pontus #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #spqr #uppergermania #newmap (at Ankara, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJ-a7uAsvT/?igshid=5bw89dvop1hq

NEW MAP: Europe 113: Outbreak of Trajan’s Parthian War (19 Oct 113) https://buff.ly/2OVzjgf In c.109 yet another civil war broke out in Parthia, with Shah Osroes I gaining control of the west of the empire and Vologases III the east. The following year Osroes installed his nephew Axidares as king of Armenia, but failed to consult the Romans beforehand and thus violated the Treaty of Rhandeia (63 AD). Despite Osroes’ apologies, Trajan took this as a pretext for war, marching on the eastern frontier in 113. #ancienthistory #ancienteurope #ancientrome #armenia #bithynia #carta #edessa #epirus #europe #europeanhistory #historisch #historybuff #historyclass #historyfacts #historygram #historylesson #historymaker #mapmaking #maps #parthia #pontus #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #trajan #anatolia #patreon #welovehistory #newmap (at Artashat, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j92ZyAE2C/?igshid=8xdvbzh9nn1
