		The father and son, now joint rulers, then embarked in an expedition against king Cniva of the Goths to punish the invaders for the raids.
		Cniva and his men were returning to their lands with the booty, when the Roman army encountered them.
		Showing a very sophisticated military tactic, Cniva divided his army in smaller, more manageable groups and started to push back the Romans into a marshy swamp.

		When the Emperor Decius drew near, Cniva at last withdrew to the regions of Haemus, which were not far distant.
		While he was resting his horses and his weary army in that place, all at once Cniva and his Goths fell upon him like a thunderbolt.
		He cut the Roman army to pieces and drove the Emperor, with a few who had succeeded in escaping, across the Alps again to Euscia in Moesia, where Gallus was then stationed with a large force of soldiers as guardian of the frontier.

		The Goths under Cniva (king of the Goths) were surprised by the emperor while besieging Nicopolis on the Danube; the Goths fled through the difficult terrain of the Balkans, but then doubled back and surprised the Romans near Beroë, sacking their camp and disbursing the troops.
		It was the first time a Roman emperor fled in the face of Barbarians.
		Jordanes records that Decius' son Herennius Etruscus was killed by an arrow early in the battle, and to cheer his men exclaimed, "Let no one mourn; the death of one soldier is not a great loss to the republic." However, his army was annihilated in this battle, and Decius slain.

		After his death, Cniva divided the army into two parts and sent some to waste Moesia, knowing that it was undefended through the neglect of the emperors.
		When the Emperor Decius learned of his departure, he was eager to bring relief to his own city and, crossing Mount Haemus, came to Beroa.
		But Cniva took Philippopolis after a long siege and then, laden with spoil, allied himself to Priscus, the commander in the city, to fight against Decius.

		But Moesia Inferior had been left largely undefended and Cniva, king of the Goths, led a sizeable portion of his army into the province.
		It was here that his elder son was slain by an arrow and the emperor, seeking to reassure his troops, famously proclaimed that the death of one soldier was not a great loss to the Republic.
		The details are sketchy, but Cniva divided his seventy thousand man army into three groups and surrounded the emperor's force.

		While Cornelius at Rome and Cyprian were moving towards greater leniency than their resolutions had embodied, Novatian, without questioning the hope of salvation for the lapsed, was now for making their exclusion perpetual, and teaching that the purity of the church could not otherwise be maintained.
		The moment for election was given by the absence of Decius and his leading officers on the frontier or in Illyria on account of the base alliance of Priscus with Cniva, and the revolt of Valens.
		The party of moderation, however, prevailed and secured the election of Cornelius: and consecrated him in spite of himself by 16 bishops
