During the Battle of Abritus, he refrains from coming to Decius's aid in trouble: the Emperor is killed by the Goths. Trebonianus is proclaimed Augustus and signs peace with Kniva. He hastens back to Rome, where he associates Hostilian, the last surviving son of Decius, as Augustus, and his own son Volusian as Caesar. When Hostilian dies of the plague or is assassinated, Volusian becomes Augustus. Trebonianus Galleus pays tribute to the Goths while the Sassanids under Shapur I threaten Syria and the plague continues to ravage the Empire. He resumes persecutions against Christians but has no clear policy. With the invasion resuming along the Danube frontier due to the arrival of new barbarian hordes, Aemilian is proclaimed Augustus by his troops and marches on Italy. Trebonianus Gallus called on Valerian to help him, and the decisive meeting took place in Terni in 253. Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianus were defeated and met their deaths in the battle, from which Aemilian emerged victorious for a short time, before being assassinated by his troops who had joined Valerian I.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iapello Arts \u0026 Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51286607167778,"sku":null,"price":6500.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/8183\/2390\/files\/9913E83C-72F0-4873-8143-81126F7421F7.jpg?v=1771733365","url":"https:\/\/www.iapello.com\/products\/trebonianus-gallus-sestertius-centered-specimen-nice-reverse-well-struck-brown-patina-xf","provider":"Iapello Arts \u0026 Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
