Co-emperor of Rome for barely a year before dying under circumstances murky enough that his own troops didn't realize he was dead until the smell gave it away.

Biography

About

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.
