About Egnatia Mariniana
Born 150. Egnatia Mariniana was a Roman.
Egnatia Mariniana (fl. c. early 200s CE) was probably the wife of Roman Emperor Valerian and mother of Emperor Gallienus. She died before Valerian's ascension to the throne in 253. Several coins bearing the legend DIVAE MARINIANAE date back to the beginning of the reign of Valerian and Gallienus.
Previously it had been assumed that Egnatius Victor Marinianus, legatus, at different times, of Arabia Petraea and Moesia Superior, was the father of Mariniana. More recently however, it has been postulated that she was the daughter of Lucius Egnatius Victor, suffect consul before 207, and therefore Egnatius Victor Marinianus' sister.
