Years: 468 - 468

The Battle of Bassianae is a battle between Ostrogoths and Huns in 468.

Recovering from the defeat at Nedao in 454, the Hunnic leader Dengizich launches an invasion across the Danube with a large Hun force, but is defeated by the Ostrogothic king Valamir.

Jordanes writes that in turn the Huns "for ever after" left the Goths in peace.
