Line 146: ==Foreign relations== ===The Roman Empire=== The Iazyges often harassed the Roman Empire after their arrival in the Pannonian Basin, ~~however,~~but they never rose to become a true threat.{{sfn\|Scheidel\|2019\|p=292}} During the 1st century, Rome used diplomacy to secure their northern borders, especially on the Danube, by way of befriending the tribes, and by sowing distrust amongst the tribes against each other.{{sfn\|Dudley\|1993\|p=165}} Rome defended their Danubian border not just by way of repelling raids, but also by levying diplomatic influence against the tribes and launching punitive expeditions.{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|pp=19–20}}{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=211}}{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=18}} The combination of diplomatic influence and swift punitive expeditions allowed the Romans to force the various tribes, including the Iazyges, into becoming client states of the Roman Empire.{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=18}} Even after the Romans abandoned Dacia, they consistently projected their power north of the Danube against the Sarmatian tribes, especially during the reigns of [[Constantine the Great\|Constantine]], [[Constantius II]], and [[Valentinian I\|Valentinian]].{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=17}} To this end, Constantine constructed a permanent bridge across the middle Danube in order to improve logistics for campaigns against the Goths and Sarmatians.{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=18}}{{sfn\|Kulikowski\|2007\|pp=105–106}} Another key part of the relationship between the Roman Empire and the Sarmatian tribes was the settling of tribes in Roman lands, with emperors often accepting refugees from the Sarmatian tribes into nearby Roman territory.{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=19}} When the Huns arrived in the Russian steppes and conquered the tribes that were there, they often lacked the martial ability to force the newly conquered tribes to stay, leading to tribes like the [[Greuthungi]], [[Vandals]], [[Alans]], and [[Goths]] migrating and settling within the Roman Empire rather than remaining subjects of the Huns.{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=22}} The Roman Empire benefited from accepting these refugee tribes, and thus continued to allow them to settle, even after treaties were made with Hunnic leaders such as [[Rugila]] and [[Attila]] that stipulated that the Roman Empire would reject all refugee tribes, with rival or subject tribes of the Huns being warmly received by Roman leaders in the Balkans.{{sfn\|Ricci\|2015\|p=27–29}}
