Marcus Aurelius Carus was a Roman emperor who reigned from 282 to 283. He is remembered for the final suppression of the authority of the Senate, declining to accept their ratification of his election and informing them haughtily. Carus fought against the Germanic tribes and declined the restoration of the senate's authority, marking the end of the Crisis of the Third Century. He was the last emperor to have united a civil with a military education. His reign was short, and he died in July or August 283. After his death, his sons Carinus and Numerian succeeded him, with Carinus being known for his indulgence in extravagance and excess, and his memory was officially condemned in the Roman procedure known as damnatio memoriae.
