Wenn man sich eine Karte des Regens von Gallienus anschaut, 253 bis 268 bis zum Herzen der Krise, sieht es so aus, als ob die Empire losgeht. Gaul, Britannien, Spanien gehen einen Weg, Palmaire geht den anderen Weg, Gallienus ist im Mittleren. Gallienus in unseren Gründen ist größtenteils enttäuscht.

Nichtsdestotrotz, weil er nicht den kleinsten Eindruck gemacht hat, seinen Vater von Persien zurückzubekommen. Aber Gallienus ist eigentlich der Anfang der Rückkehr.
