Carinus, First Half 283 - Spring 285 A.D.
|Carinus|, |Carinus,| |First| |Half| |283| |-| |Spring| |285| |A.D.|, Carinus has a reputation as one of the worst Roman emperors. This infamy was likely supported by Diocletian himself. For example, the unreliable Historia Augusta has Carinus marrying nine wives, while neglecting to mention his only real wife, Magnia Urbica, by whom he had a son, Marcus Aurelius Nigrinianus. After his death, Carinus' memory was officially condemned in the Roman proceeding known as Damnatio Memoriae. His name, along with that of his wife, was erased from inscriptions.
