Abstrakt

In the chronicle of Eutychius of Alexandria, we find a recast version of the death of Emperor Valerian. Eutychius did not understand the reality of the third century very well. His testimony is interesting, showing that the fate of the unfortunate emperor was not obvious and aroused much conjecture.
