Lucillus (Consul 265)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucillus was a Roman politician and senator .

According to the Historia Augusta, Lucillus was a relative of the Emperor Gallienus . He was probably a son of Egnatius Lucilianus, governor of the province of Britain between 238 and 244. Lucillus could therefore have carried the gentile noun Egnatius . Gallienus also carried the gentile noun from his mother Egnatia Mariniana .

In the year 265 Lucillus was together with the half-brother of Gallienus, Licinius Valerianus , ordinary consul . Presumably, Lucillus was one of the relatives who were murdered by the Senate in Rome after the death of Gallienus in 268.
