The site may have been first established as an outpost in Nubia during the reign of Sneferu ( 4th dynasty ) . Graffiti and other inscribed items from the site show that the Egyptians stayed about 200 years , until late in the 5th dynasty , when they were probably forced out by immigration from the south . Senusret III conducted four campaigns into Kush and established a line of forts within signalling distance of one another ; Buhen was the northernmost of these . The other forts along the banks were Mirgissa , Shalfak , Uronarti , Askut , Dabenarti , Semna , and Kumma . The Kushites captured Buhen during the 13th dynasty , and held it until Ahmose I recaptured it at the beginning of the 18th dynasty . It was stormed and recaptured by indigenous forces at the end of Egypt ' s 20th dynasty . The fortress itself extended more than 150 metres along the West bank of the Nile . It covered 13 , 000 square metres , and had within its wall a small town laid out in a grid system . At its peak it probably had a population of around 3500 people .

Battle of the Margus The Battle of the Margus was fought in July 285 between the armies of Roman Emperors Diocletian and Carinus in the valley of the Margus River ( today Great Morava ) in Moesia ( present day Serbia ) . Carinus led the larger force , but the loyalty of this army was definitely questionable . Carinus had allegedly alienated men whose support his success depended upon , including mistreating the Senate and its womenfolk and seducing the wives of his officers . The exact circumstances of the battle are in doubt , but it is known for certain that Carinus was killed in the course of the battle , most probably by one of his own officers . Diocletian was then left in sole control of the Roman Empire . The tide of the battle may have tilted to Carinus at first , only to shift in Diocletian ' s favor after the defection of Carinus ' Praetorian Prefect , Aristobulus . Some scholars suspect that Aristobulus was the officer responsible for the murder of Carinus , an argument that gains credibility in the fact that Diocletian afterward rewarded Aristobulus by confirming him in office as Praetorian Prefect and Consul for the remainder of 285 . Aristobulus ' Rationale . Although the battle decisively decided the issue of Roman leadership in Diocletian ' s favor , it is likely that , with the eastern provinces behind him , Diocletian would eventually have outlasted Carinus even if he had found himself on the losing side at Margus . After his victory , Diocletian administered the oath of loyalty to Carinus ' former troops , then turned his attention to the Danube frontier where the Marcomanni and Quadi were conducting raids across the border .
