Italy: Gordian I (159-238), joint 28th Roman emperor, from the book "Romanorvm imperatorvm effigies: elogijs ex diuersis scriptoribus per Thomam Treteru S. Mariae Transtyberim canonicum collectis", 1583
Gordian I (159-238) was born into a family of Equestrian rank, though there is little else known about his early life. He rose to power late during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus, eventually becoming governor of the Roman province of Africa in 237.
When Alexander was killed and replaced by Maximinus Thrax, many were discontented with his rule, especially the Roman Senate, who viewed Maximinus with severe disdain and did not consider him a true Roman. This discontent eventually resulted in a revolt in Africa in 238. The rioters declared Gordian I the new emperor, who only accepted if his son, Gordian II, was also accepted as co-emperor. The Senate was quick to recognise the Gordians as the true emperors of the Empire, in defiance of Maxminius.
Their co-rule only lasted 21 days though, before a legion from the neighbouring province of Numidia invaded the province of Africa and easily defeated the hastily established militia army. Gordian II was killed during the Battle of Carthage, and Gordian I hanged himself after hearing of his son's death. His legacy would live on through his grandson Gordian III, who was recognised as emperor by the end of 238.
