Gallic Empire [SEP] dissolved or abolished
Gallic Empire
The Gallic Empire () or the Gallic Roman Empire are names used in modern historiography for a breakaway part of the Roman Empire that functioned "de facto" as a separate state from 260 to 274. It originated during the Crisis of the Third Century, when a series of Roman military leaders and aristocrats declared themselves emperors and took control of Gaul and adjacent provinces without attempting to conquer Italy or otherwise seize the central Roman administrative apparatus.
It was established by Postumus in 260 in the wake of barbarian invasions
dissolved in the aftermath of the German capitulation. Part of the group, including Lainé, managed to evade arrest, while others were imprisoned or executed in the post war pursuit of wartime collaborators. Bezen Perrot left a legacy of brutality, hampering future attempts to form an independent Breton state.
