Historical background


HOSTILIAN

(+251)

Son of Trajan Decius - Caesar

Hostilian, second son of Trajan Decius and Etruscille became Caesar at the end of the year 250, perhaps when his brother Herennius Etruscus received the title of august. When Trajan and his eldest son leave Rome to fight the Goths and find death, Hostilian stays in Rome with his mother..
