Historical background


PACATIAN

(249)

Pacatian was at the head of the Danubian legions at the end of the year 348 or the beginning of the year 349 when he was proclaimed august by his troops, in revolt against the authority of Philip the Arab. This revolt occurred about the same time as that against Jotapien in the East. Philippe sent his general Decius to fight the sedition. The mutinous legions eliminated Pacatian and joined Decius who initially refused the purple before finally accepting it and marching against Philip and his son. The final meeting took place near Verona in September 249.
