Saloninus was the younger son of Gallienus.

Publius Licinius Cornelius Saloninus
Valerianus (c. 242 – 260), typically just called Saloninus, was a Roman nobleman
who briefly became Emperor in 260. The grandson of Valerian I, Saloninus was
appointed (subordinate) Caesar in 258 in an attempt to shore up the Licinial
line of succession during the Crisis of the Third Century. During his time in
power, Saloninus administered the German marches out of Cologne. He commanded a
garrison in Cologne where he was besieged after his father's capture.
Nevertheless, Saloninus soon became embroiled in a dispute with future Caesar of
the Gallic Empire Postumus over war spoils. In 260, Saloninus' troops acclaimed
him Emperor in an unsuccessful bid for political legitimacy.He was put on death
by Postumus.
