Flavian Campaign in Hispania (Acta Est Fabula)

The Flavian Campaign in Hispania, also known as Flavius II's Campaign aginst the Alan Kingdom, was a military campaign organized by the Western Roman Emperor Flavius II against the Alan Kingdom in order to reconquer it. The conquest ended up as a failure however, along with the Romans giving lands to their Frankish mercenaries. This failure led the Senate to lose all trust in Flavius II and to the election of Eucherius as his co-emperor.

Background
In 409, along the Alans, along with other tribes, settled in Hispania, taking various Roman territories. The Alans rapidly becamed the strongest power in the region along with the Romans.

In 422, the magister militum of Hispania, Cassius Cornelius Venantius, helped the Alan Kingdom in the First Hispanian War without the autorisation of the Emperors. He would declare himself Emperor the following year. Although the Alan Kingdom did not participate in the conflict, they did supply it.

In 424, the Western Roman Emperor Flavius I died, leaving FlaviusII as the sole ruler. However, he lacked the support of the Senate and always in the shadow of his former co-emperor. In order to leave his own mark, he organized a campaign against the Alan Kingdom. He also convinced many Franks to join him as mercenaries in exchanges of recieving part of the conquered lands.
