Tacitus, Roman Emperor from December 275 - June 276 AD. He was elected by the Senate after the assassination of Aurelian. During his short reign he campaigned against the Goths and the Heruli.
He won victories in Asia Minor and was given the name ‘Gothicus Maximus'.
It is uncertain whether he was murdered by his soldiers or died of disease. His successor was his half brother, Florian, who ruled for three months before being killed by his soldiers.
