Vetranio, 1 March - 25 December 350 A.D.

Vetranio was declared emperor by his troops in 350 A.D. Immediately expressing his support for emperor Constantius II, he was instrumental in keeping the rebellion of Magnentius under control. After Constantius finally arrived to take control of the situation, Vetranio formally abdicated, and lived the remainder of his life in comfort.
