Piso
3rd century Roman imperial usurper · Historical Figures · Died 261
Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi was probably a Roman general whom the imperial pretender Macrianus Major sent to suppress the governor of Achaia, Valens Thessalonicus. His existence is attested only by the unreliable Historia Augusta, which labels Piso as one of several usurpers who plagued the reign of Emperor Gallienus.
Piso is read about 5 times a day, in 15 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
