Postŭmus, M. Cassiānus Latinius

, the second of the so-called Thirty Tyrants. While acting as governor of Gaul under Valerian in A.D. 258, he caused himself to be proclaimed emperor, and, being a very able ruler, maintained himself in power in Gaul for nearly ten years; but was slain by his own soldiers in A.D. 267, Labienus being proclaimed in his place (Trebell. Poll. Trig. Tyr. ii.).
