Licinius Valerianus (brother of Gallienus)

Brother of Roman emperor Gallienus (died 268)

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

## Life

[edit]

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]
