Marcus Aurelius Carinus was Carus\u2019 elder son. He became Augustus on his father\u2019s accession and was left in charge of the Western empire. After the mysterious deaths of both Carus and Numerian, Carinus found himself sole emperor. Soon, the eastern army proclaimed Diocletian emperor and he marched towards Rome, whence Carinus marched out against him.<\/p>
Carinus campaigned successfully in Britain and had almost defeated the upstart Diocletian when past misdeeds caught up with him. He had reportedly seduced the wives of many of his officers, and one such officer killed the emperor. All the troops went over to Diocletian, who condemned the memories of Carus, Numerian, and Carinus.<\/p>", "image":"Carinus.jpg", "zoomfolder":"Carinus", "dynasty":"8", "murdoch":null, "updated":"2012-06-21 10:32:50", "updatedBy":"56", "created":"2007-08-09 10:51:43", "createdBy":"56", "p":"Period 14", "i":"8", "dyn":"Third Century Emperors", "filename":"Carinus.jpg" } ], "issuedDenominations":[ { "id":"17", "period":"21", "denomination":"As", "nomismaID":"as", "dbpediaID":null, "bmID":null, "rarity":null, "description":null, "weight":null, "diameter":null, "thickness":null, "design":null, "obverse":null, "notes":null, "old_material":"Copper alloy", "material":"7", "valid":"1", "created":"1998-09-28 00:00:00", "createdBy":null, "updated":"2007-01-09 15:40:03", "updatedBy":null, "rulerID":"85", "issuer":"Carinus" }, { "id":"32", "period":"21", "denomination":"Aureus (Republic\/Empire)", "nomismaID":"aureus", "dbpediaID":null, "bmID":null, "rarity":"Rare, but 1st to 2nd century AD most common.", "description":"
