When Maximinus in Germany was proclaimed Emperor by his soldiers, Legions in Africa proclaimed the octogenerian Gordian I as a rival. But at Carthage, his son and co-Emperor Gordian II was defeated and killed by veterans loyal to Maximinus under Cappellianus, Governor of Numidia. Gordian I committed suicide, while Maximinus was killed by his own troops at Aquileia two years later.
