Sur cet pièce, seul le nomen permet d’identifier Diaduménien. Au revers, nous n’avons que le nom de la cité sans l’indication de sa situation géographique. Il s’agit bien d’un diassaria plutôt qu’un assarion.
Historical background
DIADUMENIAN
(04/217-8/06/218)
Caesar
Diadumenian becomes Caesar when his father Macrin is proclaimed august in April 217. He receives the title of prince of youth. Macrinus brings him into the Severian family by making him take the prænomen of Antoninus, as he himself seized that of Severus. After the proclamation of Elagabalus, Macrinus raised his son to august in May 218 for a very short period. Beaten in June, Macrin and Diaduménien fled. The latter is caught while trying to pass to the Parthians by crossing the Euphrates. He is killed.
