Comments

Trebonianus was Roman emperor from June 251 to August 253 and his regnal name was Imperator Caesar Gaius Vibius Trebonianus Gallus Augustus.

The name Gaius was regularly abbreviated C., based on the original spelling, Caius, which dates from the period before the letters "C" and "G" were differentiated.
