After Valerian became emperor, he had his late wife deified, and created commemorative coins bearing her image. Several coins bearing the legend DIVAE MARINIANAE date back to the beginning of the reign of Valerian and Gallienus. Previously it had been assumed that
Egnatius Victor Marinianus,
legatus, at different times, of
Arabia Petraea and
Moesia Superior, was the father of Mariniana. More recently however, it has been postulated that she was the daughter of
Lucius Egnatius Victor,
suffect consul before 207, and therefore Egnatius Victor Marinianus' sister. ==References==
