Aelia Zenonis was the wife of Basiliscus, who led a short-lived usurpation against Zeno in 475. After the return of Zeno from his exile in 476, the generals Illus and Armatus - the latter allegedly being the lover of Aelia Zenonis - revolted against the usurper and opened the city-gates. Zeno had Basiliscus and Aelia Zenonis starved to death but also executed Armatus.
