M. F. Ru. Iotapianus was an usurper in the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire during the reign of Philip the Arab, around AD 248.
He first appears in a rebellion raised against taxation improved by the governor Priscus, who was Philip's brother. The rebellion soon came to an end, and Iotapianus was killed by his own soldiers.
Iotapianus is known from coins and from accounts in Sextus Aurelius Victor, Zosimus, and Polemius Silvius .
