Magnia Urbica was wife of the emperor Carus, until recently
mistaken to be the wife of his own son Carinus. While both Carinus and Numerian
were killed in 284 CE it is unclear what her own fate may have been or even if
she predeceased them. She was granted the honorifics Augusta, and Mater
castrorum, senatus ac patriae, "Mother of the (Military) camp, Senate and
Fatherland".
