Marcus Aemilius Aemilianus was born in 207. He came from Jerba and was a senator; he was acclaimed emperor in Upper Moesia and marched towards Rome. On the way, his soldiers murdered Gallus and Volusian, who tried to stop the advance.
Aemilian had the support of the Senate but not the army. He had entrusted Valerian with raising troops for a campaign on the Danube, but instead Valerian proclaimed himself emperor and used the troops to march on Rome. Aemilian died at the hands of his own men near Spoleto after 88 days of rule.
