Hi everyone, I just spotted this unusual Roman Bronze. However, I am having difficulty identifying the named ruler. It appears to be "Maurchrus," but I have never heard of this emperor/ruler. What do you think? Thanks

Roman emperor Carus 282-283, father of emperors Carinus and Numerian. Carus was supposed to be killed by being struck by lightening. Eddop is our expert on these emperors.

The Romans loved to abbreviate: IMP[ERATOR] C[AESAR] M[ARCVS] AVR[ELIVS] CARVS P[IVS] F[ELIX] AVG[VSTVS].

echizento & Kushanshah - Great info! Thank you very much for the help. I must admit that I have not seen many specimens of Carus before.
