Hostilian (Шаблон:Lang-la; died 251) was briefly Roman emperor in 251. Hostilian was born to Decius and Herennia Etruscilla at an unknown date and elevated to caesar in 250 by Decius. After Decius and Herennius Etruscus, Hostilian's brother, were killed at the Battle of Abritus, an ambush by the Goths, Trebonianus Gallus was proclaimed emperor by the legions. Almost immediately, he elevated Hostilian to co-emperor and his own son, Volusianus, to caesar. Hostilian died soon after, either due to plague or being murdered by Trebonianus Gallus.
History
Hostilian was born at an unknown date, to Decius, a Roman general who later became Emperor, and his wife Herennia Etruscilla. He had a brother, Herennius Etruscus, and one sister. His full name based on coinage and inscriptions was Gaius Valens Hostilianus Messius Quintus, but to this the historian Aurelius Victor adds Perpenna or Perperna, a name of Etruscan origin.Шаблон:Sfn
In September 249 the army of Decius declared him emperor, in opposition to Philip the Arab. He defeated and killed Philip in a battle near Verona, after which the Roman Senate confirmed Decius's appointment and honoured him with the name Traianus, a reference to Emperor Trajan.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
In or around September 250,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Decius appointed both his sons caesarsШаблон:Sfn and in May 251 Herennius Etruscus was elevated to the rank of augustus, which made Decius and Etruscus co-emperors, with Hostilian as the heir of either or both of them.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In June 251, Decius and Herennius Etruscus were killed by the Goths at the Battle of Abritus, and Trebonianus Gallus was declared emperor. To placate the public after this abrupt change of rulers, Gallus elevated Hostilian to augustus.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn After a short period as co-emperor, Hostilian died in circumstances which are still disputed.Шаблон:Sfn His death is sometimes dated to November,Шаблон:Sfn but contemporary sources indicate that he died in or before August, probably in July.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Aurelius Victor and the author of the Epitome de Caesaribus say that Hostilian died of a plague. Zosimus claims that he was killed by Trebonianus Gallus.Шаблон:Sfn Gallus's son Volusianus became the new co-emperor.Шаблон:Sfn
Some historians identify Hostilian as the Roman general depicted in the Ludovisi Battle sarcophagus, but this is unlikely given that all of his coins depict him as a beardless young boy.Шаблон:Sfn It's possible that both Hostilian and Herennius Etruscus were still children or teenagers at the time of their death.Шаблон:Sfn
