# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Numerian was the younger son of Carus, a general who rose to praetorian prefect under Probus in 282. When Carus took the purple, Numerian and his older brother Carinus became co-emperors in 283. The arrangement lasted only months: Numerian died in November 284, his reign ending before it could take shape. The empire passed to others, and the brothers became a footnote in the churn of the third-century crisis.
