Marcia Euphemia was the only known daughter of Marcian, and she was married to Anthemius, later Western Roman Emperor.

Leontia then married Marcian, a son of Emperor Anthemius and Marcia Euphemia.

Leontia then married Marcian, a son of Anthemius and Marcia Euphemia.

**** From marriage between Marcia Euphemia and Anthemius.

Procopius was the son of Anthemius and of Marcia Euphemia, daughter of the Easter Roman Empire.

He was survived by his daughter Euphemia and his son-in-law Anthemius.

His mother Lucina, born c. 400, descended from Flavius Philippus, Praetorian prefect of the East in 346, and was the daughter of the influential Flavius Anthemius, Praetorian prefect of the East ( 404 – 415 ) and Consul in 405.

This succession of honourable events – the wedding with Marcian's daughter ; a promotion to an important military rank, but with administrative rather than military tasks ; the prestigious rank of patricius and the highest military position ; the consulate held with an Emperor as colleague – suggests that Marcian had selected Anthemius as a possible candidate for the Eastern or Western throne.

In 471, the year in which Leo held his fourth consulate with the Praetorian prefect of Italy Caelius Aconius Probianus as colleague, the two emperors strengthened their bonds with a marriage between Anthemius ' son, Marcian, and Leo's daughter, Leontia ; Marcian was honoured with his second consulate the following year, this time chosen by the Eastern court.

Anthemius ' matrimonial policy also included the marriage of his only daughter, Alypia, and the powerful Magister militum Ricimer.

The new Emperor, however, had been chosen by the Eastern court, and, despite the bond of the marriage between Ricimer and Anthemius ' daughter, Alypia, they were not on good terms.

Avitus was in turn overthrown ( but not killed ) by his own master of the soldiers, Ricimer, who was responsible for both the installation and removal of Majorian and of Libius Severus, the removal of Anthemius ( installed as the Eastern Emperor's candidate ), and the installation of Olybrius – husband of Valentinian III's daughter ( and Petronius Maximus's stepdaughter ) Placidia, and loosely a member of the Theodosian dynasty.

Leo I wife Verina bore him at least two daughters, one of whom married the son of Anthemius, whom Leo I installed as Emperor in the West in 467 ( and whose daughter married the formidable " Shadow Emperor " Ricimer ), and the other of whom was Ariadne, who married the Isaurian leader Tarasikodissa ; Tarasikodissa was appointed master of the soldiers and adopted the name Zeno.

* Alypia, daughter of Procopius Anthemius, wife of Ricimer.

This hypothesis is further strengthened by the fact that Anthemius ' prestige misled the 6th century historian John Malalas to state that Marcian had actually designated Anthemius as Western Emperor after Avitus.

In October 456, in fact, the Western Emperor Avitus had been deposed ; it is probable that Marcian considered Anthemius as successor, but the Eastern Emperor died in January 457 before choosing his colleague.

The following year the two consuls were Anthemius ' son, Marcian, and Leo's son-in-law, Flavius Zeno ( later successor of Leo on the Eastern throne ).

In 478-479, the revolt of Marcian, a son of Anthemius took place.

Later on a granddaughter of Valentinian III was married to Olybrius and Anthemius was a son-in-law of Marcian.

* Marcian, son of Procopius Anthemius, usurper ;

* 467 – Anthemius is elevated to Emperor of the Western Roman Empire.

* 472 – After being besieged in Rome by his own generals, Western Roman Emperor Anthemius is captured in the Old St. Peter's Basilica and put to death.

He is succeeded by his 7-year-old son, Theodosius II, who rules under the domination of his devout Christian sister Pulcheria and Anthemius, who acts as regent.

This demand is rejected and Anthemius forced the Huns back across the Danube.

The work is carried out under supervision of Anthemius, notable praetorian prefect of the East.

* Anthemius, praetorian prefect of the East, is sent on an embassy to the Persian capital, Ctesiphon, to congratulate king Yazdegerd I on his accession the year before.

* Anthemius is besieged in the part of Rome he controls until his troops desert him.

He had Olybrius followed by another envoy, bearing a letter for Anthemius which is said to have read ;

Anthemius ' rule was characterised by a good diplomatic relationship with the Eastern Empire ; for example, Anthemius is the last Western Emperor to be recorded in an Eastern law.

Carmen 2 is a panegyric to the emperor Anthemius, part of Sidonius ' efforts to be appointed Urban Prefect of Rome ; several samples of occasional verse ; and nine books of Letters, about which W. B.

The most pointed example of this is the Suebian general Ricimer, who became a " Shadow Emperor " by deposing Avitus, installing and subsequently deposing ( and murdering ) Majorian, installing ( and possibly subsequently murdering ) Libius Severus, ruling the Empire himself during an eighteen-month interregnum, deposing and killing Anthemius, and installing Olybrius.

A few days after the death of Anthemius, Ricimer also died, on August 9 or 19 ; his nephew Gundobad Magister militum was elevated in his place.

Anthemius elevated Bilimer to the rank of Rector Galliarum and had him enter Italy with the loyal army.

Under Anthemius he was raised to the rank of patrician, becoming a possible threat to Ricimer, the powerful kingmaker behind the western throne.

In order to obtain the support of the senatorial aristocracy, Anthemius conferred the rank of patricius on members of the Italian and Gallic governing class.

In the late Roman Empire, the Latin title comes, meaning ( imperial ) " companion ", denoted the high rank of various courtiers and provincial officials, either military or administrative: before Anthemius became emperor in the West in 467, he was military comes charged with strengthening defenses on the Danube frontier.

Anthemius of Tralles ( c. 474 – before 558 ; ) was a Greek professor of Geometry in Constantinople ( present-day Istanbul in Turkey ) and architect, who collaborated with Isidore of Miletus to build the church of Hagia Sophia by the order of Justinian I. Anthemius came from an educated family, one of five sons of Stephanus of Tralles, a physician.

Anthemius was also a capable mathematician.

Anthemius assumes a property of an ellipse not found in Apollonius's work, that the equality of the angles subtended at a focus by two tangents drawn from a point, and having given the focus and a double ordinate he goes on to use the focus and directrix to obtain any number of points on a parabola — the first instance on record of the practical use of the directrix.

Arcadius was dominated for the rest of his rule by Anthemius, the Praetorian Prefect, who made peace with Stilicho in the West.

Successful recreations have been performed by Anthemius of Tralles ( 6th century AD ), Proclus ( 6th century ) ( who by this means purportedly destroyed the fleet of Vitellus besieging Constantinople ), Ibn Sahl in his On Burning Mirrors and Lenses ( 10th century ), Alhazen in his Book of Optics ( 1021 ), Roger Bacon ( 13th century ), Giambattista della Porta and his friends ( 16th century ), Athanasius Kircher and Gaspar Schott ( 17th century ), the Comte du Buffon in 1740 in Paris, Ioannis Sakas in the 1970s in Greece, and others.

Justinian commissioned Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus to replace it with a new and incomparable St Sophia.

Justinian also had Anthemius and Isidore demolish and replace the original Church of the Holy Apostles built by Constantine with a new church under the same dedication.

Isidore of Miletus was one of the two main Byzantine Greek architects ( Anthemius of Tralles was the other ) that Emperor Justinian I commissioned to design the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople from 532-537A. D.

Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles originally planned on a main hall of the Hagia Sophia that measured 230 feet by 250 feet, making it the largest church in Constantinople, but the original dome was nearly 20 feet lower than it was constructed, “ Justinian suppressed these riots and took the opportunity of marking his victory by erecting in 532-7 the new Hagia Sophia, one of the largest, most lavish, and most expensive buildings of all time .” Although Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles were not formally educated in architecture, they were scientists that could organize the logistics of drawing thousands of laborers and unprecedented loads of rare raw materials from around the Roman Empire to create the Hagia Sophia for Emperor Justinian I.

Most notably, he had the Hagia Sophia, originally a basilica style church that had been burnt down during the Nika riots, splendidly rebuilt according to a completely different ground plan, under the architectural supervision of Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles.

In the 6th century AD, Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles used a type of camera obscura in his experiments, Ibn al-Haytham ( Alhazen ) ( 965 – 1040 ) studied the camera obscura and pinhole camera, Albertus Magnus ( 1193 – 1280 ) discovered silver nitrate, and Georges Fabricius ( 1516 – 71 ) discovered silver chloride.

The Eastern Emperor Leo, who died in 474, had appointed the western emperors Anthemius and Julius Nepos, and Constantinople never recognized the new government.
