    Roman Emperor declares the 'era of nation building is over' following the disorderly execution of the planned withdrawal from Germania.

    The action is the result of long-term consequences, driven by internal contradictions and imperial rivalries with the resurgent Sasanian Empire.

    Cynical commentators noted that the Empire would simply continue to meddle in the region through foederati and client kingdoms rather than through legionaries.
