Romanus (usurper)
Romanus was a Roman usurper in the West Roman Empire who unsuccessfully rebelled against the Emperor Anthemius in 470 before being executed at Rome.
== Career ==
Romanus was a Roman Senator〔Mathisen, ''Anthemius''; Canduci, pg.168〕 and a Patrician〔Mathisen, ''Anthemius''; Jones, pg. 947〕 who had achieved the rank of Magister officiorum during the final decades of the Western Roman Empire.〔Jones, pg. 947〕 A known supporter of Ricimer, the Magister militum,〔Mathisen, ''Anthemius''〕 this brought him into conflict with the Emperor Anthemius, who both distrusted and disliked Ricimer.〔MacGeorge, pg. 246; Canduci, pg. 168〕
In 470, Anthemius fell seriously ill, and it was rumored that sorcery had been used to afflict the emperor.〔MacGeorge, pg. 246; Mathisen, ''Anthemius''〕 Ricimer saw an opportunity to install a new puppet emperor, and began to lay the groundwork for the accession of Romanus to the imperial throne.〔MacGeorge, pg. 246〕 However, Anthemius eventually recovered, and accused a number of Ricimer’s supporters of using sorcery to try to bring about his death, including Romanus, whom he also accused of seeking to usurp his throne.〔Canduci, pg. 168; Mathisen, ''Anthemius''〕 He had the senator beheaded in 470, an act which he hoped would secure his throne.〔Jones, pg. 947; Canduci, pg. 168〕
In fact, it did the opposite. Ricimer became furious about the death of Romanus, and was the trigger which he used to move against Anthemius, whom he deposed in 472.〔Mathisen, ''Anthemius''; MacGeorge, pgs. 246-247〕
