	Roman timeline from 235AD to 268AD
		Gordian was the father of at least two children: a son, Gordian II, who would be proclaimed emperor with his father; and a daughter, whose own son would become the emperor Gordian III.
		Gordian II was a suffect consul before joining his father's staff in Africa in 237, most likely at the very end of Alexander's reign or under the reign of Maximinus Thrax.
		Gordian III's unlikely accession and seemingly stable reign reveal that child emperors, like modern-day constitutional monarchs, had their advantage: a distance from political decision-making and factionalism that enabled the emperor to be a symbol of unity for the various constituency groups (aristocrats, bureaucrats, soldiers, urban residents) in Roman society.
