      mentioned by Trebellius Pollio, as the general who vanquished the two Macriani, who is
      described as a man of lofty amnbition, deducing his origin from the son of Vespasian, and is
      believed to be the same with the Domitianus put to death by Aurelian, according to Zosimus, in
      consequence of a suspicion that he was meditating rebellion. Eckhel, however, has
      demonstrated, from numismatical considerations, that the Latin medals, at least, cannot be
      earlier than the epoch of Diocletian, or his immediate successors, and therefore must
      commemorate the usurpation of some pretender unknown to history. (Trebell. Poll. <hi rend="ital">Gallien. duo,</hi> 100.2; <hi rend="ital">Trigint. Tyrann.</hi> 100.12; Zosim.
