===By Place===

====Roman Empire====

*[[Galerius]] is defeated in combat by the [[Persia]]ns under [[Narses]] outside [[Ctesiphon]].

*[[Maximian]] pacifies the area around the [[Danube]].

*[[Constantius Chlorus]] and [[Asclepiodotus]] reconquer [[Roman Britain|Britain]] from the usurper [[Allectus]], restoring it to the Roman Empire.

Year '''296''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCXCVI]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. In the [[Roman Empire]], it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Diocletian and Constantius''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1049 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 296 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

=== By place ===

==== Roman Empire ====

* In this or the previous year, Caesar [[Constantius I]] assembles two invasion fleets with the intent of overthrowing the usurper [[Allectus]], who is based in Britain. The first is under the command of [[Julius Asclepiodotus|Asclepiodotus]], [[Maximian]]'s long-serving [[Praetorian Prefect]]. Asclepiodotus sails from the mouth of the [[Seine]], and lands near the [[Isle of Wight]], where his forces defeat Allectus in [[Hampshire]]. Allectus is killed in the fighting. Constantius leaves [[Boulogne-sur-Mer|Boulogne]] with his fleet, and occupies [[London]], where he slaughters some of Allectus' [[Franks|Frankish]] mercenaries. With this victory, the Romano-British regime first established by [[Carausius]] is overthrown, and Britain is re-incorporated into the rest of the empire.

* Having supervised the Rhine frontier during Constantius' invasion of Britain, Maximian then marches into Spain, where he fights [[Franks|Frankish]] pirates. He then crosses into North Africa to contend with the rebellion of the [[Quinquegentiani]].

* The Persian king [[Narseh]] invades Roman-held Upper Mesopotamia and [[Arsacid]] western [[Armenia]], the latter territory being under the leadership of the pro-Roman king [[Tiridates III of Armenia|Tiridates III]]. With only a small army, Caesar [[Galerius]] fights three holding actions against Narseh's army in Mesopotamia. Somewhere in the open plains between [[Carrhae]] and [[Raqqa|Callinicum]], Galerius' army suffers a defeat against the Persian army, which is both more numerous and contains superior numbers of high-quality cavalry. Nevertheless, Galerius succeeds in blunting the Persian offensive.
