A year after the capture of Emperor Valerian at Edessa, his former General Macrianus rebelled against his successor Gallienus and invaded the west with his son Fulvius Junius Macrianus, as usurper. Reaching the Danube, father and son were defeated and killed in Illyricum, near the border with Thrace, by Gallienus’ General Aureolus. The second son, Quietus, was killed in the east by the Palmyreans.
