Vetranión [1] (en latín, Vetranio y a veces referido incorrectamente como Vetriano, † c. 356) era un oficial y soldado experimentado cuando Constantina, la hermana del Emperador romano Constancio II, le pidió que se proclamara emperador el 1 de marzo de 350.
Vetranio (died c. 356 AD) was briefly Western Roman emperor in 350, allying with the Eastern emperor Constantius II in his war against Magnentius.
El experimentado general Vetranio, que había servido a las ordenes de Constantino I el Grande y su hijo Constancio II, se encontraba al frente de los ejércitos de la región de los Balcanes (Pannonia e Illyricum), cuando el emperador de Occidente Constante murió en el complot organizado por el usurpador Magnencio.

Vetranio (350 A.D.) Vetranio was born of humble origin in Moesia and had served well under Constantine I ; under Constans he became a magister militum. Fearing the revolt of Magnentius , Constantia, the sister of Constantius , persuaded Vetranio to assume the title of Caesar.
On 1 March 350, Constans' magister peditum Vetranio was proclaimed emperor, and held Illyricum against Magnentius until his abdication to Constantius II on 25 December 350, during Constantius' march westward against Magnentius. Vetranio was then sent into retirement to Prusa in Bithynia.
In Illyria, Vetranio was acclaimed emperor with the support of Constantius' sister Constantina on 1 March 350. Though he publicly allied with Magnentius, many modern scholars contend that Vetranio was working for Constantius from the beginning, preventing Magnentius from threatening Constantinople until Constantius could march West.
