Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus

Gallienus (Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus) was Roman emperor from AD 253 to 268, ruling during one of the most unstable periods in Roman history; the Crisis of the Third Century.
Born around AD 218, he was the son of Emperor Valerian, who prepared him early for power by granting him titles and responsibilities while still young.
Gallienus became co-emperor alongside his father in 253. Disaster struck in 260 when Valerian was captured by the Persian king Shapur I—the only Roman emperor ever taken alive by a foreign enemy. Gallienus suddenly ruled alone.
Several breakaway states emerged, most notably the Gallic Empire in the West under Postumus, and the de facto independent Palmyrene realm in the East under Odaenathus and later Zenobia.
In 268, while campaigning against the Goths and confronting another usurper, Gallienus was assassinated near Milan by officers involved in a conspiracy. His death marked the end of the Valerian dynasty.
