Carinus (-285) was Emperor Carus' eldest son, and was appointed Caesar in the beginning of 283, made co-emperor of the western portion of the Roman Empire while his father and younger brother Numerian headed eastwards to fight the Sassanid Empire. When his father died in mid-283, Carinus and Numerian became co-emperors of the Empire, with Carinus swiftly returning to Rome to celebrate his ascension.
