Carin

Carin ( Marcus Aurelius Carinus ) was Roman Emperor of 284 - 285.

Carin is the oldest son of the emperor Carus, who names it césar into 282.

In 283, when Carus leaves in the East to fight Persians, he entrusts the Occident to Carin, by raising it under Auguste.

The Histoire Auguste presents Carin like worst discharged, oddly amateur of frozen baths, while crediting it to have celebrated plays of an extraordinary ostentation.

In the East, the death of Carus then of the second wire of Carus Numérien opened the way of the capacity with Dioclétien, at the end of 284. After having demolishes close to Vérone the Julianus usurper, carried to the capacity by a popular revolt in Dalmatie, Carin moves to the meeting of Dioclétien.

The confrontation between the armies of Occident and the East, the Battle of Margus, takes place in Mésie, in March 285. Carin will gain the battle, when he is stabbed by one of his soldiers, for a personal revenge (Carin would have allured his wife). This sudden reversal of situation makes of Dioclétien the only Master of the Roman Empire.
