Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Valerian''s first act as emperor on 22 October 253 was to make his son Gallienus his Caesar and colleague. In the beginning of his reign the affairs in Europe went from bad to worse and the whole West fell into disorder. In the East, Antioch had fallen into the hands of a Sassanid vassal, Armenia was occupied by Shapur I . Valerian and Gallienus split the problems of the empire between the two, with the son taking the West and the father heading East to face the Persian threat. In 254, 255 and 257 he became once again Consul Ordinarius. By 257, Valerian had already recovered Antioch and returned the province of Syria to Roman control but in the following year, the Goths ravaged Asia Minor. Later in 259, he moved to Edessa, but an outbreak of plague killed a critical number of legionaries, weakening the Roman position in Edessa which was then besieged by the Persians.
