Gallienus, born around A.D. 218, played a crucial role during the Crisis of the Third Century. He ruled jointly with his father, Valerian, from 253 until 260, and then as the sole emperor until 268. Despite facing immense challenges, Gallienus managed to achieve several military victories against usurpers and Germanic tribes. His 15-year reign was the longest in half a century, and he left a significant mark on the tumultuous history of the Roman Empire
