Life journey

1. Roman conquest of Rhetia and the Alps15 BCE
   The Roman conquest of Rhetia and the Alpine arc from 16 to 7 BC was the prelude to the great invasion of Germania from 12 to 9 BC. The aim was to extend the Empire's northern frontiers to the Elbe and Danube rivers.
2. Battle of Lake Constance14 BCE
   The Battle of Lake Constance was a small naval battle between Roman forces and Celtic tribes on Lake Constance in the spring of 15 BC.
3. Early Imperial campaigns in Germania11 BCE
   The Roman campaigns in Germania were a series of conflicts between the Germanic tribes and the Roman Empire. Tensions between the Germanic tribes and the Romans began as early as 17/16 BC with the Clades Lolliana, where the 5th Legion under Marcus Lollius was defeated by the tribes Sicambri, Usipetes, and Tencteri. Roman Emperor Augustus responded by rapidly developing military infrastructure across Gaul. His general, Nero Claudius Drusus, began building forts along the Rhine in 13 BC and launched a retaliatory campaign across the Rhine in 12 BC.
4. Immensum bellum1 CE
   The immensum bellum was an armed uprising of Germanic tribes against Roman influence and exercise of power east of the Rhine. The revolt broke out in 1 AD under the governorship of Marcus Vinicius and ended with the renewed subjugation of the tribes in 4 and 5 AD by the designated Roman heir to the throne, Tiberius. The conflict is part of the Augustan Germanic Wars and the efforts by Rome to bring the area between the Rhine and the Elbe under the rule of the empire between 12 BC and 16 AD.
5. Great Illyrian Revolt6 CE
   The Bellum Batonianum or Great Illyrian Revolt was a military conflict fought in the Roman province of Illyricum in the 1st century AD, in which an alliance of native peoples of the two regions of Illyricum, Dalmatia and Pannonia, revolted against the Romans. The Roman historian Suetonius described the uprising as the most difficult conflict faced by Rome since the Punic Wars two centuries earlier.
6. Battle of the Volcaean Marshes7 CE
   The Battle of the Volcaean Marshes took place in the year 7 AD as part of the Dalmatian-Pannonian revolt of 6–9 between the legions of the Roman army, led by Aulus Caecina Severus, and the Pannonian-Dalmatian rebel forces, led by Bato the Dalmatian and (possibly) Bato the Breucian.
