Macrian was a usurper who came to power during the period of confusion following the capture of Valerian by the Sasanids in AD 260. Assuming leadership of the Roman legions in the east, together with his brother Quietus, Macrian marched west to challenge Gallienus but was defeated and slain by Gallienus’ forces.
