It is not known. The Romans started paying a tribute to the Goths around 225 A.D., after they settled in Ukraine, near the lower River Danube area of the Roman Empire, to prevent them from attacking the empire. They probably stopped paying because the Goths did attack the empire. In late 248, the legions of the River Danube area rebelled and proclaimed a usurper emperor. The Quadi and other Germanic tribes took advantage of this to cross the frontier and raid the mid-Danube area of the empire. At the same time, probably temped by the opportunity created by the situation, the Goths invaded the lower Danube area of the empire and laid siege to the city of Marcianopolis (in present day Bulgaria).
