The Battle of the Margus was a significant confrontation during the Roman civil wars, taking place near the city of Margus in the Roman province of Moesia. The conflict was fought between the forces of Emperor Diocletian and the usurper Carinus, who contested control over the empire.
The battle resulted in a decisive victory for Diocletian, securing his power and paving the way for the establishment of the Tetrarchy system. Margus's strategic location on the Danube frontier made it a critical point of defense and control.
