Battarius (AD 150s – After AD 170) was a barbarian child ruler in the
Marcomannic War. He is mentioned in the ''Historia romana'' of
Cassius Dio. Accordingly, Battarius went before
Marcus Aurelius, and requested an alliance. The emperor granted his request. In return for
gold, Battiarus managed to succeed in restraining
Tarbus, a neighbouring chieftain, who had come into
Dacia threatening to make war unless Rome paid him gold.
