Illus

Flavius Illus^[1] (Greek: Ἴλλους or Ἰλλοῦς; died 488) was a Roman general, who played an important role in the reigns of the eastern emperors Zeno and Basiliscus.

Illus supported the revolt of Basiliscus against Zeno, then switched sides, supporting the return of Zeno (475-476). Illus served Zeno well, defeating the usurper Marcianus, but came into conflict with the dowager empress Verina, and supported the revolt of Leontius. This rebellion failed and Illus was killed.
