About the battle

The Battle of Bolia took place in 468 between the Ostrogoths led by the Amal dynasty and a coalition of other former allies of Attila. It took place in or near the Roman province of Pannonia. It was fought on the south side of the Danube near its confluence with the river Bolia, in present-day Hungary. The Ostrogoths won, achieving supremacy in Pannonia, but soon migrated south towards richer lands.
