Pinarius Valens

Pinarius Valens was a Roman nobleman mentioned in the Historia Augusta as an older relative of Pupienus, whom the Senate elected co-emperor with Balbinus in March 238.[1] After Pupienus ascended to the throne, he appointed Valens as praetorian prefect.[2][3] His fate after the murder of the two emperors in June is unknown.
