Uranius Antoninus is unknown from the ancient literary sources, although <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Zosimus" class="mw-redirect" title="Zosimus">Zosimus</a> perhaps confuses this usurper with two usurpers he names as Antoninus and Uranius during the reign of Severus Alexander. He established his government at Emesa in <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Syria" class="mw-redirect" title="Syria">Syria</a>, probably in response to repeated Persian attacks rather than as a challenge to Rome. In any event, it appears he was finally subdued when <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Valerian_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Valerian I">Valerian I</a> marched to recover the East.
