NEPOTIANUS, one of the Bordeaux pro­fessors commemorated by Ausonius (Prof.
Having collected a band of gladiators, runaway slaves, and similar desperadoes, he assumed the purple on the 3d of June 350, marched upon Rome, defeated and slew Anicius (or Anicetus), the new praetorian prefect, and made himself master of the city, which was deluged with blood by the excesses of contending factions.
This Nepotianus is supposed to be the person who appears in the Fasti as the colleague of Facundus for the year 336, and it has been conjectured that his father was the Ne­ potianus who held the office of consul in 301.

 Nepotianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He ruled on the city of Rome for twenty-eight days, before being killed by usurper Magnentius' general Marcellinus.
After the revolt of Magnentius, Nepotianus proclaimed himself emperor and entered Rome with a band of gladiators on 3 June 350, which caused the Praefectus urbi Titianus (or Anicius, or Anicetus), allied to Magnentius, to flee, after being defeated at the head of an undisciplined force of Roman citizens.
Nepotianus was killed in the resulting struggle (30 June 350), his head put on a lance and brought around the city (Eutropius).

 From Coup to Catastrophe: The Usurpation of Magnentius (1) (January to Late Summer 350)
Magnentius chose him to suppress the revolt of Nepotianus at Rome in the summer of 350, and the effectiveness and ruthlessness with which Marcellinus carried out that assignment does not suggest a purely bureaucratic background.
On June 3, 350, Eutropius’s son Julius Nepotianus, who was then living in the countryside outside Rome, declared himself in revolt against Magnentius and was proclaimed Augustus by a motley collection of followers.
Nepotianus was slain, and his severed head paraded around the city on a lance.

The self-proclaimed emperor tried to strengthen his grasp on the territories previously controlled by Constans, moving towards the Danube.

Magnentius received the support of most of the Western provinces, although two other usurpers, Nepotianus and Vetranio, required his attentions.
Nepotianus was executed, while Vetranio, in the Danube region, joined the cause of Constans' brother and ruler in the East, Constantius II.
Knowing that hostilities were inevitable with Constantius, who refused to accept his claims, Magnentius prepared for war, naming as his Caesar his brother Flavius Magnus Decentius.

 <i>DIR</p> Nepos
Julius Nepos was the son of Nepotianus, Master of Soldiers in the west ca.458-461, and the nephew of the patrician Marcellinus, Master of Soldiers in Dalmatia ca.
But the mid-sixth-century historian Jordanes, however, not only made it clear that as far as the eastern court was concerned, Nepos was the direct successor of Anthemius, but also suggested that the investiture ceremony took place not at Rome but at Ravenna, and before, not after Glycerius' deposition:
Nepos, having taken legal possession of the empire, deposed Glycerius, who had imposed himself upon the empire in a tyrannical manner, and made him bishop of Salona in Dalmatia ("occisoque Romae Anthemio Nepotem filium Nepotiani copulata nepte sua in matrimonio apud Ravennam per Domitianum clientem suum Caesarem ordinavit [sc.Zeno].

While he was forming these resolutions, and was very intent on warlike preparations, Magnentius still remaining in Gallia Celtica, Nepotianus, nephew to Constantius, by his sister Eutropia, collected a band of persons addicted to robbery and all kinds of debauchery, with whom he came to Rome, and appeared in an imperial dress.
The troops of Nepotianus pursued them, and as they had no way of escape, killed every man. In a few days after, Magnentius sent an army under the command of Marcellinus, and Nepotianus was put to death.
Meantime Constantius advanced from the east against Magnentius, but deemed it best first to win over Vetranio to his interest, as it was difficult to oppose two rebels at once.
