Diocletian is not the only challenger to Carinus' rule; the usurper M. Aurelius Julianus, Carinus' corrector Venetiae, had taken control of northern Italy and Pannonia after Diocletian's accession.
He mints coins from the mint at Siscia (Sisak, Croatia) declaring himself as emperor and promising freedom.
It is all good press for Diocletian, and aids in his portrayal of Carinus as a cruel and oppressive tyrant.
Julianus' forces are weak, however, and are handily dispersed when Carinus' armies move from Britain to northern Italy, defeating and killing Julianus near Verona in the spring of 285.
