Gordian did a good job as ruler of Rome.
Grandson of the venerable Gordian I, and nephew of Gordian II, Gordian III was chosen to restore peace following the deaths of all contenders for power during that terrible year.
The actual power during the reign fell into the hands of the Praetorian provinces, first Timisitheos and then Philip the Arab.
Under Timisitheus, Gordian married the mentor Tranquilina's daughter.
The death of Timisitheus resulted in his being replaced by a man with his own son and without the need to support a young doll.
Gordian III was killed and Philip I became emperor.
