Romano-British Empire, Allectus, Summer 293 - 296 A.D.
|Allectus|, |Romano-British| |Empire,| |Allectus,| |Summer| |293| |-| |296| |A.D.|, "ALLECTVS was the finance minister of Carausius in 293. Nothing is known of his birth, and even his full name is unknown. Sometime late in 293 he assassinated Carausius and became the Emperor of the secessionist British Empire. Constantius I, who had been re-conquering the continental holdings of the British Empire since mid-293, finally was ready to invade Britain in 296. He and his Praetorian Praefect, Asclepiodotus, sailed in separate squadrons to Britain. Constantius became lost in a fog, and arrived at London only after Allectus had already been killed in battle by Asclepiodotus." - Moneta Historical Reference
