He installed his son Marcus Julius Philippus as co-Emperor, but both were killed in 249 by partisans of Philippus's rebellious governor of Moesia and Pannonia, the consular Decius.
The murder of Gallienus left his Dalmatian cavalry commander, Marcus Aurelius Claudius "Gothicus" ("conqueror of the Goths"), to don the purple.

Florianus was murdered by his own troops as Probus became master of the Roman world.

Florianus was an able soldier, for Tacitus appointed him Prefect of the Praetorian Guard and used him to repulse the massive Goth invasions along the Black Sea frontier in Asia Minor.
Florianus immediately seized the throne and informed both the legions and the Senate.
Believing that he could defeat Probus, Florianus chose to deal with the crisis personally and marched toward his enemy, who was encamped near Tarsus.

 The Decline
But the desire to found a dynasty led him at last to the very blunder into which Marcus Aurelius had been drawn, as he let the imperial succession fall into the hands of his unsuitable son Bassianus, better known as Caracalla.
Gordian II The murder of Alexander Severus was certainly the work of Maximinus, a giant of a Thracian peasant who had risen through the ranks to become commander of the imperial guard.
The first steps to that end were to appoint an honoured and distinguished senator, Valerian, to the long obsolete office of censor, and a zealous return to the pristine worship of the ancient gods of Rome.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Florian
[[1]] His full name as Emperor was Imperator Caesar Marcus Annius Florianus Pius Felix Invictus Augustus.
The Historia Augusta characterizes the succession as a dynastic coup in which the Senate was ignored, but since Florian like Tacitus issued coins inscribed SC, advertising the Senate's authority for minting them, the Historia Augusta's complaint may be factitious.
Florian's different nomen, Annius rather than Claudius, means that he cannot have been Tacitus's full brother as the Historia Augusta implies; but one passage identifies him as Tacitus's half brother by the same mother, which might be true.

 Rome and Romania, Roman Emperors, Byzantine Emperors, etc.
While a thoughtful Emperor, like Marcus Aurelius, expressed ideals adopted from Stoic cosmopolitanism, the unity and universality of Rome soon expressed itself as the unity and universality of a state religion, Christianity, whose intrinsic exclusivism and intolerance became characteristic of the Middle Ages.
The peace ended under Marcus Aurelius, the closest thing to a "philosopher king" until Thomas Jefferson, but also a very competent general, who smashed a major German invasion across the Danube, while consoling himself with Stoicism for the miseries of war, plague, and personal loss.
There is a possible connection, since the Ossetians are descendants of the Alans, and Marcus Aurelius had settled a tribe of Alans, the Iazyges, whom he had defeated in 175 and taken into Roman service, in the north of Britain, where many of them settled at Bremetenacum Veteranorum, south of Lancaster.

After initial discovery by local man Ross Metcalfe and farmer Peter Thorpe, this one was positively identified by archaeologists, including the writer.
Following excavation and research, the stone was traced to the Emperor Marcus Annius Florianus who reigned from June 276 until he was murdered by his own soldiers the same September.
All the resources of the modern media were set in motion, so that local, regional and national papers as well as television reported the discovery, as well as Peter Thorpe’s intention of lending the stone to Pontefract Museum.
