There has been but one minor action …

Years: 596 - 596

There has been but one minor action in the Balkans for the past eighteen months after the only moderately successful Avar raid into Dalmatia.

The Avars, discouraged by the lack of success, see more prospect for booty in the West and therefore raid the Franks in 596.

Meanwhile, the Romans use Marcianopolis near Odessos as a base of operations on the lower Danube against the Slavs, rather than exploiting the Avar absence.

No notable Slav raids take place in this time, either.
