	Gordian I
		The universal discontent roused by the oppressive rule of Maximinus culminated in a revolt in Africa in 238, and Gordian yielded to the popular clamour and assumed the purple.
		The senate confirmed their choice, and most of the provinces gladly sided with the new emperors; but, even while their cause was so successful abroad, Gordian II fell before the sudden inroad of Cappellianus[?], legatus of Numidia and a supporter of Maximinus Thrax.
		Both the Gordians had deserved by their amiable character their high reputation; they were men of great accomplishments, fond of literature, and voluminous authors; but they were rather intellectual voluptuaries than able statesmen or powerful rulers.
