Titus Julius Priscus

Titus Julius Priscus

Titus Julius Priscus was a mid 3rd century Roman usurper.

He was the governor of Macedon, and was proclaimed Augustus at Philippopolis towards the end of 251, probably with Gothic collusion following their successful siege at the Battle of Philippopolis. The Senate declared him a public enemy almost as soon as he chose usurpation. He probably survived the campaign that resulted in the death of Decius, but is likely to have perished in the reign of Gallus.
