Miracle of the Rain in the Marcomannic Wars

Emperor Marcus Aurelius faced the Quadi tribe in Moravia after they broke a peace treaty. Encompassed by the enemy during a fierce thunderstorm, the Roman army experienced what was termed the 'miracle of the rain' when a sudden downpour aided their victory over the Quadi forces. This miraculous event not only secured a Roman triumph but also reinforced the emperor's image as a leader favored by the gods.
