| - As Batalhas de Viminácio foram uma série de três combates travados entre o Império Bizantino e os ávaros e que foram decisivas para o avanço bizantino na região, culminando na invasão da Panônia, o coração do Grão-Canato Ávaro. (pt)
- Οι μάχες του Βιμινάκιου ήταν μια σειρά από τρεις μάχες που έγιναν σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα μεταξύ των Αβάρων και Σλάβων συμμάχων τους και της Βυζαντινής Αυτοκρατορίας το 599. Οι Βυζαντινοί πέτυχαν μία καθοριστική νίκη όπου έπειτα τους επέτρεψε να εισβάλουν στην Παννονία, την καρδιά του Αβάρικου κρατιδίου. Το καλοκαίρι του 599 ο αυτοκράτορας Μαυρίκιος έστειλε τους στρατηγούς του Πρίσκο και σε εκστρατεία εναντίον των Αβάρων. Οι στρατηγοί ένωσαν τις δυνάμεις τους στην Σιγγιδών και προωθήθηκαν από κοινού κατά μήκος του Δούναβη στο Βιμινάκιον. (el)

- Las batallas de Viminacium fueron una serie de tres batallas libradas entre los ávaros y el imperio bizantino. Las batallas fueron una victoria bizantina clave que permitió la subsecuente invasión de Panonia. Prisco posteriormente persiguió al khagan huido e invadió las tierras ávaras en Panonia, donde ganó otra serie de batallas en las orillas del río Tisza y decidió la guerra en favor de los romanos. La campaña supuso el final, por un tiempo, de las incursiones eslavas y ávaras a través del Danubio. (es)
- Die Schlachten von Viminacium war eine Abfolge von drei Schlachten zwischen dem Oströmischen Reich und den Awaren. Die Oströmer konnten entscheidende Siege erringen, anschließend drangen sie bis nach Pannonien vor. Priskos verfolgte anschließend den fliehenden Khagan und marschierte in das awarische Kerngebiet in Pannonien ein, wo er weitere Schlachten an den Ufern des Flusses Theiß gewann, was den Krieg zu einem siegreichen Ende brachte und für eine längere Zeit die awarische und slawische Bedrohung an der Donau aufhob.
