At the time, it was known in Rome as the **Year of the Consulship of Paternus and Arcesilaus** (or, less frequently, **year 1020 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***). The denomination 267 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [Anno Domini](/source/Anno_Domini) [calendar era](/source/Calendar_era) became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. ## Events ### By place #### Roman Empire - First Gothic invasion: The [Goths](/source/Goths), originally from [Scandinavia](/source/Scandinavia), with the [Sarmatians](/source/Sarmatians) (from modern [Iran](/source/Iran)), invade the [Balkans](/source/Balkans) and [Greece](/source/Greece). They ravage [Moesia](/source/Moesia) and [Thrace](/source/Thrace). - The [Heruli](/source/Heruli) invade the [Black Sea](/source/Black_Sea) coast; they unsuccessfully attack [Byzantium](/source/Byzantium) and [Cyzicus](/source/Cyzicus). The [Roman](/source/Roman_navy) fleet defeats the Herulian fleet (500 ships) but allows them to escape into the [Aegean Sea](/source/Aegean_Sea), where they raid the islands of [Lemnos](/source/Lemnos) and [Skyros](/source/Skyros). - The Goths sack several cities of southern Greece including [Athens](/source/Athens), [Corinth](/source/Roman_Corinth), [Argos](/source/Argos%2C_Peloponnese) and [Sparta](/source/Sparta). After the [Sack of Athens](/source/Sack_of_Athens_(267_AD)), an Athenian militia force (2,000 men), under the historian [Dexippus](/source/Dexippus), pushes the invaders to the north where they are intercepted by the [Roman army](/source/Roman_army) under emperor [Gallienus](/source/Gallienus). He wins an important victory near the [Nestos River](/source/Nestos_(river)), on the boundary between [Macedonia](/source/Macedonia_(Greece)) and Thrace. - [Aureolus](/source/Aureolus), charged with defending [Italy](/source/Italy), defeats [Victorinus](/source/Victorinus) (co-emperor of [Gaul](/source/Gaul)), is proclaimed emperor by his troops, and begins his march on [Rome](/source/Ancient_Rome). #### Near East - King [Septimius Odaenathus](/source/Odaenathus) of [Palmyra](/source/Palmyra) makes plans for a campaign in [Cappadocia](/source/Cappadocia) against the Goths. He is assassinated, along with his eldest son, most probably by his nephew due to a previous altercation between him and Odaenathus.[1] His wife [Zenobia](/source/Zenobia) succeeds him, and rules [Vaballathus](/source/Vaballathus) (the [Palmyrene Empire](/source/Palmyrene_Empire)) with her young son. ## Births - [Pei Wei](/source/Pei_Wei_(Jin_dynasty)) (or **Yimin**), Chinese philosopher and politician (d. [300](/source/300)) ## Deaths - [Septimius Herodianus](/source/Hairan_I), co-king of [Palmyra](/source/Palmyra) (assassinated) - [Septimius Odaenathus](/source/Odaenathus), king of Palmyra (assassinated) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Dodgeon & Lieu 2002, p.72 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [267](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/267) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/267?action=history)).
