A category which could be included was the establishment of the Byzantine province of Spania during the reign of Justinian I, the battles fought during the 72 years of its existence (including creating articles for the individual Battles) and its reconquest by the Visigoths.

It's is known from the Historia Augusta that emperor Maximinus Thrax launched punitive campaigns into Germania which reached beyond the River Weser. According to the aforementioned Historia Maximinus Thrax marched north from Moguntiacum (today's Mainz) about 300 (trecenta) to 400 (quadringenta) Roman miles. As earlier historians thought this was to be impossible and beyond the Roman military reach, this passage was often changed to triginta and quadraginta (30 to 40 miles) but archeaological battlefield finds (coinage finds depicting Emperors Elagabalus (218-222) and Severus Alexander (222-235), Roman weaponry and bolts used exclusively by the legions like the Scorpio or Cheiroballistra) near the towns of Kalefeld and Bad Gandersheim, in the state of Lower Saxony now seem to back up the Historia. Given this I propose that a new section should be added to the campaignbox with regards to these 3rd century Roman campaigns. I don't want to change it singlehandedly, therefore I put this up here for consultation before I take action. -- fdewaele, 31 July 2021, 18:56 CET.
