The Carausian Revolt (AD 286–296) was an episode in Roman history, during which a Roman naval commander, Carausius, declared
himself emperor over Britain and northern Gaul. His Gallic territories were retaken by the western Caesar Constantius Chlorus
in 293, after which Carausius was assassinated by his subordinate Allectus. Britain was regained by Constantius and his subordinate
Asclepiodotus in 296.
