Domitius Domitianus vs Wen Qin

Emperor Diocletian personally led a campaign to suppress the rebellion, besieging Domitius Domitianus in Alexandria. The siege lasted several months, causing severe hardship for the city's population.

Domitius Domitianus was declared emperor in Alexandria, leading a rebellion against Emperor Diocletian. The revolt exploited local discontent with Roman tax reforms and Diocletian's administrative reorganization.

Domitius Domitianus died during Diocletian's siege of Alexandria, likely from illness or in battle. His death ended his brief usurpation, though his corrector Aurelius Achilleus continued the revolt for several more months.

Wen Qin and Guanqiu Jian rebelled against Sima Shi in Shouchun. They opposed Sima's usurpation of power. Sima Shi personally led forces against them. The rebellion collapsed when Guanqiu Jian was killed and Wen Qin fled to Wu, leaving his family behind.

Wen Qin joined Zhuge Dan's rebellion against Sima Zhao, bringing his forces to Shouchun. He had previously rebelled against Sima Shi in 255 and fled to Wu. His participation added experienced troops to the rebellion but also created internal tensions.

During the siege of Shouchun, Zhuge Dan suspected Wen Qin of disloyalty and executed him. This act demoralized the defenders and weakened the rebellion. Wen Qin's sons then defected to Sima Zhao, contributing to the rebellion's collapse.
