But ten years later the Dalmatians rose afresh, once more in concert with the Scordisci. The Romans Cross the Eastern Alps and Reach the Danube The expedition of the consul of 639, Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, against the Taurisci presented more the character of a war of conquest.
Of the conflicts with the Scordisci, which have passed almost wholly into oblivion, a page, which speaks clearly even in its isolation, has recently been brought to light through a memorial stone from the year 636 lately discovered in the neighbourhood of Thessalonica.
