NEW MAP: Europe 260: Thirty Tyrants (11 September 260) https://buff.ly/3nwy5rk The capture of Valerian left Gallienus with the task of defending the entire Roman Empire while it was under attack from all sides. With the emperor unable to be everywhere at once, usurpers sprang up across the empire—‘thirty tyrants’ according to a 4th-century source but more likely around nine over Gallienus’ reign. By September 260 Postumus had seized power in Gaul, Regalianus in Pannonia, and Macrianus and his sons in the East; a fourth ‘tyrant’, Odaenathus, controlled Palmyra but retained nominal loyalty to Rome.[The map is dated to the dedication of the Augsburg Victory Altar to Postumus, by which point he had extended his control to Raetia and the Macriani were established in the East.] #3rdcentury #thirdcentury #ancientrome #cartografia #cartographic #europe #europeanhistory #franks #historical #historicalmaps #history #historydegree #historyinthemaking #historymatters #historyteacher #persia #sasanian #gaul #germania #maps #mesopotamia #palmyra #gallienus #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #newmap (at Edessa)https://www.instagram.com/p/CHPb-uLAGBk/?igshid=mbo65pade01x -- source link
