Constantine’s military operations against the Goths and the Sarmatians in 332 and 334 (original) (raw)

Abstract

The article attempts to construe the chronology of Constantine’s campaigns against the Goths and Sarmatians in 332 and 334, respectively, and to assess the extent of Roman control of Gothia (the former Roman Dacia) in the following years. The article also argues that there is a link between military operations of Constantine on the lower Danube in 334 and colonies or military units of Sarmatians in Italy, possibly in Gaul and elsewhere in the Empire, which are attested by a number of sources, primarily the Notitia Dignitatum.
