Carus
Carus ((ラテン語:Marcus Aurelius Carus Augustus);〔In Classical Latin, Carus' name would be inscribed as MARCVS AVRELIVS CARVS AVGVSTVS.〕〔Jones, pg. 183〕 c. 224〔Canduci, pg. 105〕 – July or August 283) was Roman Emperor from 282 to 283. During his short reign, Carus fought the Germanic tribes and Sarmatians along the Danube frontier with success.
During his campaign against the Sassanid Empire, he sacked their capital Ctesiphon, but died shortly thereafter. He was succeeded by his sons Carinus and Numerian, creating a dynasty which, though short-lived, granted further stability to a resurgent empire.
==Biography==
Carus, whose name before the accession may have been Marcus Numerius Carus,〔Jones, pg. 183〕 was likely born at Narbo (modern Narbonne) in Gaul〔Victor, 38:1〕〔The tradition that he was one of the so-called "Illyrian Emperors", based on the unreliable ''vita Cari'' embedded in the Augustan History, was accepted uncritically by Joseph Scaliger, who assumed the other sources were wrong, and followed by Edward Gibbon in ''The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire''. (Tom B. Jones, "A Note on Marcus Aurelius Carus" ''Classical Philology'' 37.2 (April 1942), pp. 193–194).〕 but was educated in Rome.〔Historia Augusta, "Vita Cari", 4:2〕 He was a senator〔Historia Augusta, "Vita Cari", 5:4〕 and filled various civil and military posts before being appointed prefect of the Praetorian Guard by the emperor Probus in 282.〔Canduci, pg.105〕
After the murder of Probus at Sirmium, Carus was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers.〔Zonaras, 12:29〕 Although Carus severely avenged the death of Probus, he was suspected as an accessory to the deed.〔Historia Augusta, "Vita Cari", 6:1〕 He does not seem to have returned to Rome after his accession, contenting himself with an announcement to the Senate.〔Southern, pg. 132〕
