a) ANTHEMIUS (-murdered 11 Jul 472). The Chronicon Paschale names "Valentiniano Augusto et Anthemio" as consuls in 455[161]. He was proclaimed Emperor ANTHEMIUS, Emperor in the West, by Emperor Leo, emperor in the east, in early 467 with the agreement of Ricimer and acclaimed emperor by the army in Italy 12 Apr 467[162]. The Pauli Historiæ Romanæ records the accession of "Anthemium" and his naming "eiusque generum Ricimerum" as patricius[163]. Sicily was conquered by the Vandals in Aug 468[164]. The Chronicle of Cassiodorus records that in 472 "patricius Ricimer Romæ" deposed Emperor Anthemius, and that he was murdered 40 days later[165]. m Ælia MARCIA EUPHEMIA, daughter of Emperor MARCIANUS, Emperor in the East, & his first wife ---. Ioannes Malalas records the marriage of "Marcianus filiam ex priore uxore" and "Anthimio"[166]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Emperor Anthemius & his wife had two children:
i) MARCIANUS . Theophanes records that "Marcianus" son of "Anthemii, qui Romæ imperavit", husband of "Leontiæ, Verinæ quidem filiæ, imperatricis…Areadnæ sororis", travelled to Constantinople in rebellion against Emperor Zeno[167]. The Chronicon Paschale names "Zenone et Marciano" as consuls in 469 and "Marciano et Festo" as consuls in 472[168]. m (474 or after) as her second husband, LEONTIA, widow of IULIUS, daughter of Emperor LEON I, Emperor in the East & his wife Verina ---. Her first marriage is recorded[169].
ii) ALYPIA . Ioannes Malalas records the marriage of "Anthemius…filiam" and "Recimero, militum magistro"[170]. The primary source which confirms her name has not so far been identified. Her marriage is confirmed by Procopius recording that "Anthemius, the emperor of the West, died at the hand of his son-in-law Ricimer"[171]. m ([Nov/Dec] 467) RICIMER ---.
[--- . m ---.]
i) daughter . Iordanes records the marriage of "Nepotem filium Nepotiani" and "nepte sua [Anthemio]" at Ravenna after his accession as emperor[172]. It is assumed that this means that one of her parents was the sibling of Emperor Anthemius, although the precise relationship may have been more remote. m (Ravenna 474) Emperor JULIUS NEPOS, Emperor in the West, son of NEPOTIANUS & his wife --- ([450]-murdered 9 May 480).
