Marcus Aurelius Numerius Numerianus Augustus was Roman Emperor from 283 to 284 with his older brother Carinus.
They were sons of Carus, a general raised to the office of praetorian prefect under Emperor Probus in 282. When Carus died in 283, the two brothers became Augusti.
Their reign was short; in 284 Numerian was found dead in his coach while travelling to Rome to consolidate his power.
