September
Probus immediately sends troops to engage Carus, but they defect to the usurper.
As this news reaches Probus' camp, his troops, who resent his strict discipline and their being detailed to agricultural reclamation work in the Balkans, decide to change their allegiance to Carus.
In late September, mutineers evidently kill the emperor in Sirmium, not far from his place of birth, where he is buried.
