Licinius Valerianus (brother of Gallienus)

Licinius Valerianus Minor (died 268) was the son of Roman emperor Valerian and his second wife Cornelia Gallonia, and half-brother of Gallienus.

Life

In a nundinium sometime between 253 and 264, he was made suffect consul and was appointed ordinary consul in 265.^[1] He died in the wake of his brother's assassination in the autumn of 268 when he was consul with his relative Marinianus, in a purge against Gallienus' partisans; Joannes Zonaras reported that he was killed at Rome, whereas Eutropius and the Historia Augusta state that he was murdered at Mediolanum.^[2]
