Marcus Aurelius Carus (c. 230 - late July/early August, 283) was a Roman Emperor (282-283). During his short reign, Carus tried to follow the path of restoration of the empire strength marked by Aurelian and Probus. His sons Carinus and Numerian formed, with Carus, a short lived dynasty, which granted further stability to a resurgent empire. He also had a daughter Aurelia Paulina. Carus, whose name before the accession may have been Marcus Numerius Carus, was born, probably, at Narbo (modern Narbonne) in Gaul, but was educated at Rome. He was a senator, and had filled various civil and military posts before he was appointed prefect of the Praetorian Guard by the emperor Probus in 282. After the murder of Probus at Sirmium, Carus was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers. Although Carus severely avenged the death of Probus, he was himself suspected of having been an accessory to the deed. He does not seem to have returned to Rome after his accession, but contented himself with an announcement of the fact to the Senate. Bestowing the title of Caesar upon his sons Carinus and Numerian, he left Carinus in charge of the western portion of the empire, and took Numerian with him on the expedition against the Persians which had been contemplated by Probus. Having defeated the Quadi and Sarmatians on the Danube, Carus proceeded through Thrace and Asia Minor, annexed Mesopotamia, pressed on to Seleucia and Ctesiphon, and carried his arms beyond the Tigris. The Sassanid Emperor Bahram II limited by internal opposition, could not effectively defend his territory. For his victories, which avenged all the previous defeats suffered by the Romans against the Sassanids, Carus received the title of Persicus Maximus. Carus hopes of further conquest were cut short by his death. One day, after a violent storm, it was announced that he was dead. His death was variously attributed to disease, the effects of lightning, or a wound received in a campaign against the Persians. The facts that he was leading a victorious campaign, and that his son Numerian succeeded him without opposition, suggest that his death may have been due to natural causes. From Wikipedia under the

He was a Roman poet and philosopher that lived over 2000 years ago. He wrote the following quote: "Had God designed the world, it would not be a world so frail and faulty as we see." Early church fathers (Jerome), wanted to discredit Lucretius' philosophy, which includes disbelief in any kind of life after death and in any divinity concerned with man's welfare. The church tried to defame him, saying that he was imputing immorality and that he used witchcraft and even claimed him to be insane. I find it very interesting coming from someone of that time period. Is he one of the oldest outspoken atheists? Asked by Godless AM - Tue Oct 16 09:13:59 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I believe there were famous Greek atheist philosophers before him, but I'd have to check my dates. I'm pretty sure Diagoras was from the 5th century BCE.

The father of Daphne was Peneus, god of a stream in Thessalia. Daphne loved trees, flowers and animals. She did not praise (meaning "care for") other forms of life. Apollo was the god of the sun. He was also the god of light, and of clear minds (literally "a clear mind," i.e. wisdom). Because of this, he was dear to the Greeks. Apollo was beautiful, and women loved him. Apollo was walking in the woods one day and he spied a beautiful nymph. By a trick of the god of love, Apollo loved Daphne, but Daphne did not love Apollo. "Girl," cried Apollo, "stay!"
