Decius, Gaius Messius Quintus Trajanus
(redirected from Decian)

     0.01 sec.

Decius, Gaius Messius Quintus Trajanus

(born c. 201, Budalia, Pannonia Inferior—died June 251, Abrittus, Moesia) Roman emperor (249–251). Of uncertain origins, he served as senator, consul, and provincial military commander before taking the throne from Philip the Arabian. He resisted the Gothic invasion of Moesia and instituted the first organized persecution of Christians throughout the empire (250), which only served to strengthen the Christian cause. He ended the persecutions in 251, shortly before he was defeated and killed by the Goths.

Sostuvo, ante el asombro de todos, que no hacia falta nada de lo que decian, que ella tomaria el cuerpo de Uzea y pasaria por los lenos encendidos, como si nada, pues por algo era hada y por su naturaleza no estaba sujeta al sufrimiento ni a las enfermedades y heridas que el genero humano pudiera padecer.
