War of Vesosis and Tanausis
- War of Vesosis and Tanausis
The War of Vesosis and Tanausis is described in Jordanes' semi-historical account of the Goths as happening in remote antiquity when Vesosis, king of the Egyptians, made war against them. Their king at that time was Tanausis. In a battle at the river Phasis (in Colchis, modern Georgia), Tanausis, king of the Goths met Vesosis, king of the Egyptians, and there inflicted a severe defeat upon him, pursuing him even to Egypt. [The Goths, by Jordanes, Chapter 6: War of Tanausis and Vesosis. ]
