Year283 (CCLXXXIII) was acommon year starting on Monday of theJulian calendar. At the time, it was known as theYear of the Consulship of Carus and Carinus (or, less frequently,year 1036Ab urbe condita). The denomination 283 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when theAnno Dominicalendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
Exploiting the Persian civil war, Carus leaves Carinus in charge of much of the Roman Empire and, accompanied by his younger son Numerian, invades theSassanid Empire. They sackSeleucia andCtesiphon, the capital of thePersian kingdom, and they press on beyond theTigris. For his victories, Carus receives the title ofPersicus Maximus.[citation needed]
The officer Diocles, the future EmperorDiocletian, distinguishes himself in the war against the Persians.[citation needed]
Carinus campaigns with success in Britain and on the Rhine frontier.[citation needed]
Summer: Carus dies in mysterious circumstances during the war against the Persians. Various sources claim he died of illness, was struck by lightning or was killed in combat.[1][2]
Carinus andNumerian succeed their father Carus. Numerian, who had accompanied his father into the Persian Empire, leads the army back to Roman territory.[citation needed]
