Icon of person Uranius

Uranius is the name of two possible Roman usurpers of the third century AD. The first Uranius is mentioned only by Zosimus, and was briefly active during the latter part of the reign of Alexander Severus. He was chosen by dissatisfied soldiers along the Danube and from a lowly background. There is little confirmatory evidence of his existence. A second, and better attested usurper was Lucius Julius Aurelius Sulpicius Severus Uranius Antoninus, who appears to have been active in Syria in the early 250s AD. Coins minted in Emesa have been found bearing his name, and invoking the local deity Sol Invictus. Read more on Wikipedia
