Item Information Bid History Question & Answer [Image] Metal: Bronze Obverse Condition: Extremely Fine (EF) Reverse Condition: Extremely Fine (EF) Gordian III A.D. 238-244 AR Silver Double Denarius, Sear 2449. MARCVS ANTONIVS GORDIANVS was born in 225. His grandfather was Gordian I and his uncle was Gordian II. After their failed revolt in 238, Gordian was raised (April, 238) to Caesar under the Senate's co-Augusti, Balbinus and Pupienus. When they were killed in July, 238, Gordian became sole Augustus. His rule was mild and wise with his Praetorian Praefect, Timesitheus, whose daughter Tranquillina he married in 241. Unfortunately, both Timesitheus and Gordian died on campaign against the Sassanians in 243-244. His mysterious death on February 25, 244 possibly was plotted by his successor, Philip I.
