January 170: The Vandal population was divided between three main ethnic groups: Asdingi (from the name of the main lineage), Silingi and Lacringi. According to Cassio Dio Cocceiano and the Historia Augusta, during the period of the Marcomannic wars (from 166/167 to 188/189), at the time of the emperors Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus and Commodus, the Hasdingi branch of the Vandals moved southeast, led by their kings Raus and Raptus, and they stipulated a treaty of alliance with the Romans, settling north-east of Dacia, in the Carpathian basin.
