Achilleus (Roman usurper)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Achilleus (fl. 3rd century AD) assumed the title of Roman emperor under Diocletian and reigned over Egypt for some time.[1] He was possibly the Corrector of Domitius Domitianus. He seems to have succeeded the revolt started by Domitianus, after the latter died.[citation needed]
Achilleus was at length taken by Diocletian after a siege of eight months in Alexandria, and put to death in 298 AD.[2][3]
