Fortunately for Lugdunum, the would-be emperor and his army hurried into Italy, defeated Otho, and was in turn defeated by Vespasian and the army of the East, bringing the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors to an end.

 Battle of Lugdunum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Lugdunum, also called the Battle of Lyon, was fought on 19 February 197 at Lugdunum (modern Lyon, France), between the armies of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus and of the Roman usurper Clodius Albinus.
This battle is said to be the largest, most hard fought and bloodiest of all clashes between Roman forces.
Also as a result of this battle, Roman forces in Britannia were severely weakened, which would lead to incursions, uprisings and a withdrawal of Rome from the Antonine wall south to Hadrian's wall.
