The Tridentum Campaign, was a campaign of the Great Astyian War that took place on the Tridenta peninsula in modern day Bungussi. Aquitayne sought to weaken the Empire of Exponent by opening a second front in the country's northern territories. The invaders launched a naval attack followed by an amphibious landing on the peninsula, to capture the Exponent city of Tilurium. The naval attack was repelled and after a year's fighting, with many casualties on both sides, the land campaign was abandoned and the invasion force was withdrawn. It was a costly and humiliating defeat Aswick and Aquitayne.
The campaign was a major Exponent victory in the war. In BC, it is regarded as a defining moment in the history of the state, a final surge in the defence of the motherland as the Empire of Exponent retreated.
