Nigrian from the following facts and information about his life.
Nigrian died in his infancy between late 284 and early 285.
But his short life is surrounded by the mystery of his
birth. His father Carinus, grandfather Carus and his uncle
Numerian had all been emperor. His father Carinus was one of
the most evil emperors of the Roman Empire. His father led a
life of vice and debauchery. He was also said to have been
involved in an incestuous relationship with his sister
Aurelia Paulina. This has given rise to doubts about who was
the mother of Nigrian. Was he the legitimate son of his
father's wife, Magnia Urbica? Or was Nigrian the product of
the incestuous relationship between his father and his
father's sister, Aurelia Paulina?
