One of the more serious of the 'Thirty Tyranni' described by Roman historians as occurring in this period was brought about by the revolt of Marcus Aurelius Julianus of Pannonia, whose uprising against Carinus in 284 caused the emperor to march from Britain and lead his army against the rebels near Verona, or perhaps in Illyricum (the sources are unclear), crushing them in early 285. Issued from the mint at Siscia, the coins of Julian of Pannonia are in the same good style that this mint had previously issued in the service of legitimate emperors, with a fine portrait.
