Pacatianus

 

Pacatianus

Tiberius Claudius Marinus Pacatianus was an usurper in the Danube area of the Roman Empire during the time of Philip the Arab, ca. 248 AD.

He is known from coins, and from mentions in Zosimus and Zonaras, who say that he was an officer in one of the Danube legionss. The revolts of Pacatianus and Iotapianus in Syria prompted Philip to offer to step down, but Decius (who would soon succeed Philip), correctly predicted that Pacatianus would soon be killed by his own men.
