Marcus Opellius Antoninus Diadumenianus or Diadumenian (208–218) was the son of theRoman Emperor Macrinus, and served his father briefly asCaesar (May 217–218) and asAugustus (in 218). Diadumenian was born in 14th of September 208 a.C or according toHistoria Augusta in 19th ofSeptember208 a.C because he shared the same birthday with the emperorAntoninus Pius. His mother was EmpressNonia Celsa, although her existence remains dubious, because she was only mentioned by theHistoria Augusta. He was born Marcus Opellius Diadumenianus, but his name was changed and added Antoninus to solidify connection to the family ofMarcus Aurelius as done byCaracalla.

Diadumenian had little time to enjoy his position or to learn anything from its opportunities because the legions ofSyria revolted and declaredElagabalus ruler of theRoman Empire. WhenMacrinus was defeated on June 8, 218, atAntioch, Diadumenian followed his father\'s death.

Debelt is a village in Sredets municipality in Burgas Province in southeastern Bulgaria , about 25 kilometers from Burgas . It has a population of 1,574 and an altitude of 46 meters. The village was founded around the 2nd century by the Roman emperor Vespasian . Then called Deultum, it was the only Roman colony on Bulgarian land in the Flavian dynasty . During the Byzantine era it was known as Develtos (Greek: Δεβελτός).

A Roman colonia (plural coloniae) was originally a Roman outpost established in conquered territory to secure it. Eventually, however, the term came to denote the highest status of Roman city.

According to Livy , Rome\'s first colonies were established in about 752 BC at Antemnae and Crustumerium .

Other early colonies were established at Ostia , Antium , and Tarracina in the late fourth century B.C . In this first period of colonization, which lasted down to the end of the Punic Wars , colonies were primarily military in purpose, being intended to defend Roman territory. There were colonies of citizens and colonies of Latins, which differed in size, constitution, and region. Colonies of citizens were typically coastal and known as coloniae maritimae. These were small (three hundred families), close to Rome, and enjoyed no civic life of their own. Sherwin-White suggested that they were similar to the Athenian cleruchy .

Coloniae also included towns founded by Rome to house those who held Roman citizenship. In Britain this usually meant those who had completed their military service in the Legions and were thus owed a grant of land by the state; see Marian Reforms .
