艾米利安

Marcus Aemilius Aemilianus

(公元约206年-公元253年)

马库斯-埃米利乌斯-埃米利安努斯大约于公元207年出生在非洲的杰尔巴岛,或毛利塔尼亚的某个地方。

在他的职业生涯中,他成为了参议员,并达到了执政官的职位。 公元252年,他又成为了下莫西亚的总督。

公元253年春天,哥特人破坏了与皇帝特雷波尼亚努斯-加卢斯签订的条约。 埃米利安迅速将他们赶出了摩埃西亚,然后,渡过多瑙河,粉碎了哥特人的军队。

在罗马不断遭受挫折的时候,他的意外胜利使他成为手下人眼中的杰出领袖。 因此,在公元253年7月或8月,埃米利安被他的部队宣布为皇帝。 这位新皇帝没有浪费时间。 他立即将部队开进意大利,迅速向罗马进发。

在首都以北仅50英里处的因塔姆纳,他们被毫无准备的加勒斯皇帝和他的儿子及共同统治者沃鲁西亚努斯的劣势军队逼近。 然而,他们的军队意识到,如果他们被派去与艾米利安的更大、更有经验的多瑙河部队作战,他们就会死掉,并杀死他们,留下艾米利安一个皇帝。

元老院不久前才宣布埃米利安是加勒斯手下的公敌,立即确认他为皇帝,埃米利安的妻子盖亚-科内莉亚-苏佩拉被任命为奥古斯塔。

现在整个帝国都在埃米利安的脚下,但有一个大问题。 Publius Licinius Valerianus在已故的Trebonianus Gallus的召唤下,正向罗马进军。 他的皇帝可能已经死了,但他的篡位者还活着,这给了Valerian所有需要的理由来继续向首都进军。 事实上,他的莱茵河军队的士兵现在宣布他取代埃米利安为皇帝。

当埃米利安现在向北移动以面对他的挑战者时,历史又重演了。 他自己的士兵不想与他们认为比自己强的军队作战,在斯波莱蒂姆附近转向他并刺死了他(公元253年10月)。 他死的那座桥后来被称为pons sanguinarius,"血桥"。

埃米利安只统治了88天。
