Gallienus, Publius Licinius Egnatius
Born A.D. 218; died A.D. 268. Roman emperor from 253 (until 260 he was co-ruler with his father Valerian). Gallienus carried out a reform of the cavalry. Relying on the support of the urban strata and the army, he tried to limit the role of the senators, removing them from high military positions. This met with sharp opposition from the Senate. Gallienus was killed near Mediolanum (present-day Milan) during a revolt led by Aureolus, chief of the cavalry. REFERENCESDe Regibus Luca, La monarchia militare di Gallieno. Genoa, 1939.Manni, E.
