Events
By place
Europe
- Battle of Ostia: An Saracen Arab fleet from Sardinia set sail towards Rome. In response, pope Leo IV forms a coalition of maritime Italian cities, including Naples, Amalfi and Gaeta led by admiral Caesar — which is assembled off the re-fortified port of Ostia — and repels the Saracen marauders. Their navy is scattered, resulting in many sunken vessels. Rome is saved from plunder and the expansion of the Aghlabids.[1]
