Death: 20 APR 238 in Carthage
Note: Killed by Capellinius of Numidia, who with the 3rd legion, crushed the revolt.
Event: Emperor of Rome Acceded 19 MAR 238
Note:
During his time in Africa, one of Maximinus' procurators was squeezing the local landowners for all the taxes he coudl get out of them. The emperor's military campaigns were costly and consumed vast amounts of money. But in the province of Africa things finally boiled over. Landowners near Thysdrus (El Djem) revolted, and rose up with their tenants. The hated tax collector and his guards were overcome and killed. Gordian's duties were clear. He was obliged to restore order and crush this tax revolt. The people of the province had only one chance of avoiding Rome's wrath. And that was to incite their governor to revolt. And so they proclaimed Gordian emperor. At first their governor was reluctant to accept but on 19 March AD 238 he agreed to his elevation to the rank of Augustus and only a few days later, having returned to Carthage, he appointed his son of the same name as co-emperor.
Event: Consul of Rome Acceded 223

| 5. | Marc. Ant. Gordian III Balbus Emp ROMAN EMPIRE (2.Maecia2, 1.Marc.1) was born about 225; died on 25 Feb 243-244 in Zaitha, Mesopatamia. Other Events:
- _UID: 6B68C737FD474E5993427577BE03FD639E60
Notes:
At some point Gordian III became aware of his General Philip's intentions. Seeking a compromise he apparently offered to resign as Augustus and to reassume the position of Caesar (junior emperor) under Philip. But Philip was not interested in compromise. Knowing the outcome in advance, Philip put it to the soldiers to vote for whom they wanted, him or Gordian. And so on 25 February AD 244 near Zaitha on the Euphrates the soldiers elected Philip emperor and Gordian III was killed. The senate though was informed he had died of natural causes.

Reference note on the Scriptoriae Historiae Augusta
Langenfeld, Kathryn Ann (2017). "Forging a History: the Inventions and Intellectual Community of the Historia Augusta". hdl:10161/14536. Retrieved 2 July 2021. Many recent studies have concluded that the inventions of the Historia Augusta can only obscure or detract from any historical purpose and that the primary intended function of the Historia Augusta was entertainment. In contrast, through reassessment of the work's composition and the forms and frequency of the inventions across the collection, this study demonstrates that the author uses his inventions to forge thematic and structural links across the thirty biographies and to encourage deeper reflection on his biographical subjects, the limitations of authentic history, and his contemporary political context.
Eutropious married Claudia Crispina ILLYRIA in Eboracum, Britannia. Claudia (daughter of Marcus Aurelius Flavius Claudius ILLYRIA and Flavia Aurelia POMPEIANNA) was born about 227 in Sirmium, Sremska Mitrovica, Pannonia Inferior (The Balkans); died in 253 in Romano Canavese, Torino, Piemonte, It?lia; was buried about 283 in Romano Canavese, Torino, Piemonte, Italy.
