Gallienus ruled an empire that was disintegrating under pressure from foreign invaders. The Senate proclaimed him co-emperor because it saw that no one man could run the vast military operations needed to defend the empire.

Gallienus is a controversial figure, many ancient historians, especially from the senatorial class, talk about his role in bringing Rome to ruin. The reality, however, was very different; modern historians cite him as why the Empire could revive under Aurelian, Probus and Diocletian.
