Battle of Mursa Major

The Battle of Mursa Major was fought in AD 351 between the eastern Roman armies led by Constantius II and the western forces supporting the usurper Magnentius. The action took place somewhere along the valley of the Drava River, a Danube tributary in present-day Croatia. Magnentius, who had lost in the battle his most loyal supporter magister officiorum Marcellinus, would suffer another, final defeat, two years later at Mons Seleucus.
