GALLIENUS, PUBLIUS LICINIUS EGNATIUS

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 419 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GALLIENUS, PUBLIUS LICINIUS EGNATIUS , Roman emperor from A.D. 260 to 268, son of the emperor Valerian, was born about 218. From 253 to 260,he reigned conjointly with his father, during which time he gave proof of military ability and bravery. But when his father was taken prisoner by Shapur I. of Persia, in 26o, Gallienus made no effort to obtain his release, or to with-stand the incursions of the invaders who threatened the
empire
  from all sides. He occupied
part
  of his time in dabbling in literature, science and various trifling arts, but gave himself up chiefly to excess and debauchery. He deprived the senators of their military and provincial commands, which were transferred to
equites
 . During his reign the
empire
  was ravaged by a fearful pestilence; and the
chief
  cities of
Greece
  were sacked by the Goths, who descended on the Greek
coast
  with a
fleet
  of five hundred. His generals rebelled against him in almost every province of the empire, and this period of Roman history came to be called the reign of the Thirty Tyrants. Nevertheless, these usurpers probably saved the empire at the time, by maintaining order and repelling the attacks of the barbarians. Gallienus was killed at
Mediolanum
  by his own soldiers while besieging Aureolus, who was proclaimed emperor by the Illyrian legions. His sons Valerianus and Saloninus predeceased him.
Life
  by Trebellius Pollio in Script. Hist. Aug. ; on coins see articles in Numism. Zeit. (1908) and Riv. ital. d. num. (1908).
