Aelia Zenonis, wife of Basiliscus and mother of Marcus, was proclaimed augusta by her husband after his accession in January 475 and put to death in his company after his downfall in August 476. Nothing is known of her family, but her name suggests some relationship to Zeno. The only known coins of Zenonis are solidi and nummi, all of extreme rarity. (P. Grierson, LRC, p. 180).
