The son of a magister militum and grandson of a praetorian prefect, he married Marciana, daughter of Emperor Marcian. After his marriage, he was appointed comes on the Danube to reinforce Roman defenses along the frontier and was then promoted by Marcian to consul (together with Valentinian III) and patricius. For his loyalty demonstrated in the victorious campaigns against the Ostrogoths and Huns in 467, upon the death of Libius Severus, Leo I appointed him augustus of the West, entrusting him with bringing the provinces of Africa and Gaul, which were in the hands of the barbarians, back under Roman control. Anthemius arrived in Rome and gave his daughter in marriage to the powerful magister militum of the West, Ricimer, to ensure his loyalty, but his reign did not last long. He waged war against Genseric, but the expedition proved disastrous because of the fleet commanders, Basiliscus and Marcellinus. Even in Gaul, things were going badly: the Visigoth Euric, successor to Theoderic II, defeated the Roman army on the Rhone and killed the emperor's son, Antemiolus, thanks in part to the betrayal of the praetorian prefect of Gaul, Arvandus, who seems to be planning usurpation. The defeats obviously did not help to maintain high approval ratings and loyal allies, and even Ricimer distanced himself from Antemius and moved against him. Ricimer left Mediolanum and entered Rome in 472 after a fierce siege. Antemius was captured and beheaded.

Very rare and superb example for type, with an expressive portrait. EF. Flavius Eugenius, closely associated with the magister militum Arbogast and supported by the Frankish tribes, was proclaimed augustus of the West in 392 in Lugdunum upon the death of Valentinian II. However, his colleague in the East, Theodosius I, did not recognize him, and he was therefore considered a usurper. Eugenius was previously known as a teacher of Latin grammar and rhetoric, then held the position of magister criniorum (head of the chancellery). He arrived in Rome in 393 and, despite being a Christian, adopted a tolerant policy towards pagans, allowing the reopening of the temple of Venus, the restoration of the altar of Victory, and the celebration of pagan religious festivities. This attitude was in clear contrast to Theodosius' policy and also created tensions with the powerful bishop of Milan, Ambrose. A conflict soon followed, and Theodosius defeated the army commanded by Arbogast in 394 in the Battle of the Frigidus. Eugenius was put to death by beheading as a traitor.
