dc.description.abstract |
This thesis examines and reassesses the reign of the Roman
emperor Gallienus in the mid-third century CE. Specifically, this
paper analyses Gallienus’ military and administrative policies, his
conception of his emperorship, and the influence his policies had on
his successors.Gallienus ruled over the Roman Empire during a
period of unprecedented calamities. The misfortunes of the Roman
Empire during this period, and the biases against Gallienus in the
writings of the ancient Latin authors, left a less-than-favorable
impression of Gallienus’ reign. However, a re-evaluation of Gallienus
and his policies unveils a remarkably capable emperor, who should
be credited with not only saving the Roman Empire from complete
collapse, but laying the foundation for the Empire’s recovery in the
late third century CE. |
