Member of the Third Century Emperors dynasty.

Coins for this issuer were issued from 282 until 284.

Marcus Aurelius Numerianus was Carus’ younger son, born around 253. He was made Caesar when his father became emperor, though he was reportedly bookish and uninterested in ruling or warfare. Upon the suspicious death of Carus, Numerian was left in charge of the entire Persian campaign. After negotiating peace with the Persians, he headed back to Rome to confer with his brother Carinus. He never made it; Numerian died under suspicious circumstances, possibly poisoned.
