Volusianus
c. 230 CE–c. 253 CE · Rome
Volusianus (c. 230–253 CE) was the son of the emperor Trebonianus Gallus, who elevated him in 251 — first as Caesar and then, by the end of that year, as co-emperor (Augustus). The two ruled jointly until 253, when, as the usurper Aemilian advanced on Rome, both father and son were killed by their own mutinous troops at Interamna in August 253. His brief reign left no documented interaction with the other traditions featured on the site.

About Rome
Rome, on the Tiber in central Italy, grew from an Iron Age settlement into the capital of the Roman Republic and then of an empire that by the 1st century CE ruled the whole Mediterranean. Its Jewish community, attested from the 2nd century BCE, is among the oldest in Europe. Christian tradition holds that the apostles Peter and Paul died there, and the city became the seat of the popes. After the Western Empire ended in 476 it passed to Gothic kings, to Byzantium and then to papal rule as capital of the Papal States, until it became the capital of unified Italy in 1871. Vatican City, independent since 1929, lies within it.
