                                Description

     Gordian III was the grandson of the short-reigned Gordian I. He
     was given the rank of Caesar by the joint emperors Balbinus and
     Pupienus, and proclaimed Augustus after their murders. He was
     then only 15 years old. He supressed a rebellion successfully in
     Africa in A.D. 240, and did a successful campaign against the
     Persians in A.D. 242. He was under great influence of his
     praetorian prefect Timesitheus. After this prefect's death in
     244, Gordian's power was undermined by Timesitheus' successor
     Philip. Philip had Gordian killed by his own soldiers, and became
     the new emperor.
