Decius
Trajan Decius ((ラテン語:Caesar Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius Augustus);〔In Classical Latin, Decius' name would be inscribed as CAESAR GAIVS MESSIVS QVINTVS TRAIANVS DECIVS AVGVSTVS.〕 c. 201 – June 251), was Roman Emperor from 249 to 251. In the last year of his reign, he co-ruled with his son Herennius Etruscus until they were both killed in the Battle of Abritus.
==Early life and rise to power==
Decius, who was born at Budalia,〔〔(Handbook to life in ancient Rome ), By Lesley Adkins, Roy A. Adkins, 2004, p. 28〕 near Sirmium in Pannonia Inferior (now Martinci and Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia), was one of the first among a long succession of future Roman Emperors to originate from the Danube provinces, often simply called Illyricum.〔"These men are usually called the Illyrian emperors since they all were born in that province (Illyricum) and were raised to power by legions stationed there". Joseph Ward Swain, ''The Ancient World''〕 Unlike some of his immediate imperial predecessors such as Philip the Arab or Maximinus who did not have extensive administrative experience before assuming the throne, Decius was a distinguished senator who had served as consul in 232, had been governor of Moesia and Germania Inferior soon afterwards, served as governor of Hispania Tarraconensis between 235–238, and was urban prefect of Rome during the early reign of Emperor Philip the Arab (Marcus Iulius Phillippus).〔Scarre 1995, p.169〕
Around 245, Emperor Philip entrusted Decius with an important command on the Danube. By the end of 248 or 249, Decius was sent to quell the revolt of Pacatianus and his troops in Moesia and Pannonia; some modern historians see this rebellion as a reflection of emerging Balkan separatism.〔Potter 2004, pp.634-5 (note 106)〕 After the collapse of the revolt, Decius let the troops proclaim him Emperor. Philip had to advance against him and was killed near Verona, Italy, in September 249.〔Potter 2004, pp.240-241〕 The Senate then recognized Decius as Emperor, giving him the attribute ''Traianus'' as a reference to the good emperor Trajan. According to the Byzantine historian Zosimus, Decius was clothed in purple and forced to undertake the (of ) government, despite his reluctance and unwillingness.〔Zosimus, New History I.22〕
