Description
Volusianus (Gaius Vibius Volusianus Augustus), also known as Volusian, was a Roman Emperor from 251 to 253. The death of Decius in early June 251 led to Trebonianus Gallus' elevation to the throne. Gallus adopted Decius' son Hostilian and made him co-ruler. Volusianus was named Caesar and Princeps Juventutis. Later in 251 Hostilian died of the plague and Volusianus replaced him as Augustus and co-ruler. Volusianus coins were minted starting from 250, when he was not an official ruler yet.
