Titus Fulvius Junius Quietus (died 261) was a Roman usurper against Roman Emperor Gallienus.

  1. ^ The coinage of Quietus and of his brother and co-emperor Macrianus Minor celebrated the army, the confidence in victory, and the foreseen arrival of happy times. All of these themes were very important in a time of emergency, when the Roman Empire had lost its Emperor in battle against the Sassanid Empire.
