Procopius was a distant relative of the emperor Julian the Apostate. During Julian's Persian campaign, Procopius guarded the Upper Tigris valley. When Julian was killed in action (June 363), Procopius (who may have expected to be recognized as emperor himself), recognized Jovian, who had been chosen emperor by the army.
During Jovian's reign, Procopius was living with his relatives in a villa in Caesarea. When Jovian was succeeded by Valens (February 364), Procopius revolted, picking up allies on the Crimea and finding friends in Constantinople, where a former courtier named Eugenius supported him. However, his armies were defeated at Thyatira and Nacolaeia and he was executed (366).
