		Numerian was the son of the Roman Emperor Carus and brother of Emperor Carinus, and was proclaimed caesar in Fall 282, short after his father's accession.
		It was probable that Numerian had died naturally, and that the officers wanted to keep his death secret to avoid a turmoil in the army.
		According to Historia Augusta, Numerian was a man of considerable literary attainments, of remarkably amiable character, and known as a great orator and poet.

		When in December AD 282 or January AD 283 Carus left together with Numerian to campaign first on the Danube and then against the Persians, Carinus was left in Rome to direct the government of the west.
		When Carus died later in AD 283, and Numerian took the position of Augustus in the east, there was no opposition and the rule of the joint emperors held the promise of being a reasonably peaceful reign.
		Numerian soon initiated moves for a return back to Rome, but died in very mysterious circumstances in Asia Minor (Turkey) in AD 284.

	The ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures: The Mystery of Mathra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mathra attacked the wild animals of the jungle, but the Numerians caught Mathra and, fearing he might escape again, they left their city, never to return.
		They locked the door to the city, split the key in two, and buried the pieces in puzzles "in two quarters of the rainforest." The Numerians still live in the villages around the Numerian rainforest, but the location of the Lost City remains a mystery.
		The ancient Numerians hid on of the keys to the Lost City at the center of the Rings of Volcanic Fire (also called the Rings of Fire, a play on the Ring of Fire, a line of active volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean.) Sneeze berries are necessary to crossing the Rings of Fire.

	Featured Coin
		Numerian, the younger son of the emperor Carus, was named Caesar at the beginning of his father's reign.
		Actually this is not all that hard to believe since obverse dies outlasted reverses and were valuable enough that the mint might be forgiven continuing its use until it failed.
		When I discovered the Carinus coin shown here I felt that the likely explanation was that the AVGG reverses date to the time that Carinus was Caesar before Numerian was elevated and the AVGGG coins were from the period of one Augustus (Carus) and two Caesars.

		The Life of Carus, Numerian, and Carinus, from which two passages are extracted here, constructs portraits of three classic types of imperial figure: the soldier-emperor, the bookish boy-emperor (relatively speaking), and the dissolute scoundrel of a bad emperor.
		While Numerian was being carried in a litter, he was killed by the agency of his father-in-law Aper.
		He spoke the words, "This man is responsible for the murder of Numerian!" Thus Aper, whose life was marked by a dishonorable life-style and odious intentions, met the death-penalty his habits deserved.

		With Numerian, as with the rest of the people, all apprehension, all doubt, all exercise of reason, was overpowered by the one eager idea of escaping from the fatal precincts of Rome.

		Numerian was supposedly an intellectual, probably along the lines of a Marcus Aurelius or Severus Alexander; men who saw fit to rule under the guidance of philosophy and blah blah blah.
		He was caught in the crossfire of the hated (yet much more 'mainstream') Carinus, his brother and fellow emperor, and the army formerly loyal to Carus, their dad.
		In any case, Numerian is not hard to get on a coin despite his brief, inconsequential stint as emperor.

		Numerian, after losing his father, at the same time decided that the war was over, but while he was leading his army back he was murdered through the treachery of Aper, the praetorian prefect and his father-in-law.
		Then all fell upon Aper, whose treachery could no longer be hidden, and they dragged him before the standards in front of the general's tent.
		And when the question was asked who would be the most lawful avenger of Numerian and who could be given to the commonwealth as a good emperor, then all, with a heaven-sent unanimity, conferred the title of Augustus on Diocletian.

		Beginning with Claudius II Gothicus in 268 A.D. and ending with the death of Numerian in 284 A.D. when Diocletian becomes emperor, there were a total of nine emperors.

		Regardless, the two chief generals of the army there, Lucius Aper and Diocles recognized the teen-age son, Numerian as Junior Emperor (his older brother was now senior Emperor) and concluding that there was nothing more they could achieve, took the army back to the Empire, up the Euphrates River headed towards Nicomedia in Anatolia.
		Suspicions grew among the soldiers, and the rumour passed around that Numerian was dead, that he had been dead some time and was actually stinking inside the litter.
		Sadly, Numerian was a descent young man, literate, good musician and poet – someone who REALLY didn’t deserve the fate he suffered and if one did a movie one would have to change that.
