description: "Marcus Aurelius Mausaeus Carausius was a military commander of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. He was a Menapian from Belgic Gaul, who usurped power in 286, during the Carausian Revolt, declaring himself emperor in Britain and northern Gaul. He did this only 13 years after the Gallic Empire was ended in 273. He held power for seven years, fashioning the name \"Emperor of the North\" for himself, before being assassinated by his finance minister Allectus."
