Marcus Aurelius Carus (c. 230 – late July/early

August, 283) was a

Roman

Emperor
(282-283). During his short reign, Carus tried to follow the path of

restoration of the empire strength marked by

Aurelian

and Probus
. His

sons Carinus

and Numerian

formed, with Carus, a short lived dynasty, which granted further stability to a

resurgent empire. He also had a daughter Aurelia Paulina.

//

 Biography

Carus, whose name before the accession may have been Marcus

Numerius Carus, was born, probably, at

Narbo (modern

Narbonne)
in Gaul,[1]

but was educated at Rome

. He was a

senator
,

and had filled various civil and military posts before he was appointed

prefect
of

the

Praetorian Guard

by the emperor Probus in 282. After the murder of Probus at

Sirmium
,

Carus was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers. Although Carus severely avenged

the death of Probus, he was himself suspected of having been an accessory to the

deed. He does not seem to have returned to Rome after his accession, but

contented himself with an announcement of the fact to the Senate.

Bestowing the title of

Caesar

upon his sons Carinus and Numerian, he left Carinus in charge of the

western portion of the empire, and took Numerian with him on the expedition

against the

Persians

which had been contemplated by Probus. Having defeated the

Quadi
and

Sarmatians

on the Danube
,

Carus proceeded through

Thrace
and

Asia Minor

, annexed

Mesopotamia

, pressed on to

Seleucia

and

Ctesiphon
,

and carried his arms beyond the

Tigris
. The

Sassanid Emperor

Bahram II

limited by internal opposition, could not effectively defend his territory. For

his victories, which avenged all the previous defeats suffered by the Romans

against the Sassanids, Carus received the title of Persicus Maximus.

Carus hopes of further conquest were cut short by his death. One day, after a

violent storm, it was announced that he was dead. His death was variously

attributed to disease, the effects of

lightning
,

or a wound received in a campaign against the

Persians

. The facts that he was leading a victorious campaign, and that his

son Numerian succeeded him without opposition, suggest that his death may have

been due to natural causes.
