Decius, Emperor (Roman Empire) : All Data

Decius was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 249 to 251 AD. During his reign, the Roman Empire faced several significant conflicts. One of the most notable wars was the Gothic Invasion of 251 AD, led by the Gothic king Cniva. This invasion resulted in the Battle of Abrittus, where Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus were killed. Another important event during Decius' rule was the outbreak of the Decian persecution, a widespread persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire that began in 250 AD. These events occurred within the calculated timespan of Decius' reign and had a significant impact on the Roman Empire during his rule.
