Years: 282 - 282
October
Carus, on learning of Probus's death, severely punishes the murderers but is himself suspected of having been an accessory to the deed.
He sends a messenger to inform the Senate, without seeking its approval, that he has succeeded to the imperial position.
As Probus had enjoyed respect among the senators, Carus sees to his predecessor's deification.
Without visiting Rome, he next arranges for the elevation of his adult sons Carinus and Numerian to the rank of Caesar (junior emperor).
The cult of Mithra, which recognizes the two powers of good and evil, has becomes popular among Roman legionaries and receives official patronage under Carus.
News soon reaches him that the Sarmatians and the Quadi have crossed the Danube and invaded Pannonia.
