Aemilianus (disambiguation)
- Aemilianus (disambiguation)
Aemilianus can refer to a number of people in Classical history:
*Marcus Aemilius Aemilianus, emperor of Rome for several months in 253 AD.
*Aemilianus, son of Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus, was adopted by Publius Cornelius Scipio, the son of Scipio Africanus, and was thus called Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus.
*Lucius Mussius Aemilianus, one of the Thirty Tyrants. He supported the rebellion of the Macriani against Gallienus (260-261 AD), and afterwards probably proclaimed himself emperor. He was later captured and strangled in prison.
*Aemilianus, a native of the town of Nicaea, and an epigrammatic poet. Nothing further is known about him. Three of his epigrams have been preserved. ["Anthol. Graec. vii. 623, ix. 218, 756]
*Saint Aemilianus (also called Aemilius, fl. 5th century) was martyred in Africa in 484 AD.
*Aemilianus, a bishop of Nantes during Charlemagne's reign (i.e. late 8th century), who supposedly fought the Saracens in Burgundy. Some scholars consider him to be a legendary, rather than historical, figure. [Goyau, George. [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10681a.htm "Nantes"] . "Catholic Encyclopedia".
