Joannes

Usurper of the Western Roman Empire

375 CE to 425 CE

Ioannes, known in English as Joannes, is a Roman usurper (423–425) against Valentinian III.

On the death of the Emperor Honorius (August 15, 423), Theodosius II, the remaining ruler of the House of Theodosius hesitates in announcing his uncle's death.

In the interregnum, Honorius's patrician at the time of his death, Castinus, elevates Joannes as emperor.
