Arrius Claudius Rufus Basilian

Arrius Claudius Rufus Basilian was a mid-later century Yutemond official, senator and then first state citizen during the reign of Aldara the Executioner. He was nicknamed "mila" ("thousand pieces") after he was strangled and torn to shreds by an angry mob.
== History ==
Mass discontent was caused by the Feilerion and Lewen blockade of the Ports of Kolic — which created scarcities in the capital—and the imposition of heavy taxes during an economy to pay for Aldara's whims. In 9 AK, the Vicilum Militaris, Sanameus Arrius, Maria Korlat, and the grand priest Attius Olumpus unsuccessfully plotted to depose the empress and replace her with one of her daughters. Sanameus Arrius was executed, and Princess Maria Korlat was exiled from the household.
The next year, the Imperial Guard and members of the clergy revolted. In 10 AK, corrupt first state citizen, Arrius Claudius Rufus Basilian was strangled and torn to shreds by an angry mob, gaining the posthumous nickname "milia" ("thousand pieces"). On the same day, Aldara was seized and imprisoned in Korlat Palace. Maria gave consent to her mother's fall, saying "We will lose control of the government. The whole society is in ruins. Have her removed from the throne immediately."
