===Marcomannic wars===
{{main|Marcomannic Wars}}
In the 2nd century AD, the Marcomanni entered into a confederation with other peoples including the [[Quadi]], Vandals, and [[Sarmatians]], against the Roman Empire. The war began in 166, when the Marcomanni overwhelmed the defences between [[Vindobona]] and [[Carnuntum]], penetrated along the border between the provinces of [[Pannonia]] and [[Noricum]], laid waste to [[Flavia Solva]], and could be stopped only shortly before reaching [[Aquileia]] on the [[Adriatic]] sea. The war lasted until Marcus Aurelius' death in 180.

In the third century Jordanes claims that the Marcomanni paid tribute to the Goths, and that the princes of the Quadi were enslaved. The Vandals, who had moved south towards Pannonia, were apparently still sometimes able to defend themselves.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.romansonline.com/Src_Frame.asp?DocID=Gth_Goth_16 |title=chapt 16 |publisher=Romansonline.com |access-date=2014-05-01 |archive-date=2014-05-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502033048/http://www.romansonline.com/Src_Frame.asp?DocID=Gth_Goth_16 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
