Aemilianus
c. 207 CE–c. 253 CE · Djerba
Marcus Aemilius Aemilianus, born c. 207 at Girba (modern Djerba) in the Roman province of Africa, was a general commanding on the Danube frontier in Moesia who was proclaimed emperor by his troops in 253 after a victory over invading Goths. He marched on Italy and supplanted Trebonianus Gallus, but reigned only about three months before being killed by his own soldiers as the larger army of his rival Valerian approached.
