Abstract
The author analyses the 33rd chapter of Sextus Aurelius Victor’s De Caesaribus, referring tothe reign of the Roman emperor Licinius Gallienus, 218-268. The text approaches the beginning of the Romanempire’s division into microstates, caused by the diminishing of the authority coming from Rome, followingValerianus’s death, Gallienus’s father. The centrifugal tendency of all the states included in the empire by forceis increasing, but it can mainly be found in the formations from Gallia,Britannia, Palmyra and partially fromDacia. This state of things is synhcronic.
