Gallienus was a pivotal figure in Roman history. He stopped the persecution of the Christians, yet was not himself a Christian. His bizarre lifestyle antagonised the traditionalists. It is said he dressed his soldiers up as women. Inflation ran riot. But he kept the core of the empire intact against Persian and barbarian invasions. In Gallienus John Bray reconstructs the life of this often unfairly maligned emperor.

Gallienus herrschte auf dem Gipfel der «Krise des 3. Jahrhunderts». Eine Gesamtdarstellung aller Aspekte seiner Herrschaft stellt ein Desiderat der Forschung dar. Der Autor versucht dies unter Auswertung v. a. literarischer, numismatischer und epigraphischer Quellen. Zu umstrittenen chronologischen Fragen wird Stellung genommen. Unter Gallienus kam es zu wichtigen Weichenstellungen im militärisch-administrativen Bereich sowie auf dem Gebiet der Herrschaftsdarstellung. Dieser Kaiser ließ viele originelle Münztypen prägen und glich sich dabei verschiedenen Gottheiten an. Das Christentum erfuhr unter Gallienus erstmals offizielle Anerkennung. Somit hatte Gallienus an einem wichtigen Punkt der Römischen Geschichte eine Verbindungsfunktion inne.

This monograph explains why he was loved by the soldiers,yet so intensely hated by some officers that they killed him in a conspiracy.The year 2018 is the 1,800th anniversary of Gallienus’ date of birth and the 1,750th anniversary of his date of death.
