When Valerian was captured at Edessa, Ingenuus, Roman commander on the Danube, rose in revolt against the new Emperor Gallienus, who led a force into Pannonia. At Mursa (modern Osijek, Croatia), Ingenuus was defeated and killed by Roman cavalry under Aureolus, who then defeated another usurper, Macrianus, in Illyricum before turning against Gallienus himself in 268 at Mediolanum.
