Having been associated with his father and brother in the empire, he was entrusted with the government of the East when they marched upon Italy. Upon receiving intelligence of their defeat and death, he took refuge in Emesa where he was besieged, captured and slain by Odenathus in A. D. 262 (Trebell. Poll. Trig. Tyrann.). He is called Quintus by Zonaras (12.24).
