[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7442693, member: 84905"]This is a really good source, thanks for that. Germanic invaders in the Narbonensis I in the 3rd century can in my view only have been Alamanni and Juthungi, from what is now southern Germany. The Goths would not reach that far west before at least 100 years later. Tacitus' and Florianus' victories over the pontic Goths in 275 and 276 must have been quite decisive. Probus didn't mint any coins celebrating victories over the Goths and, as far as I know didn't assume the title of Gothicus Maximus. Instead, Probus was busy defending the western parts of the Empire against Alamanni, Vandals and Burgundians. He did minted large numbers of coins celebrating his Germanic victory. However, his victories may not have been decisive. When he was killed in 282, the Alamanni immediately launched an attack on Raetia and Noricum.[/QUOTE]
