 Encyclopedia: Philip the Arab
Pacantius' revolt was not the only threat to his rule: in the East, Marcus Iotapianus led another uprising in response to the oppressive rule of Priscus and the excessive taxation of the Eastern provinces.
Another two usurpers Marcus Silbannacus and Sponsianus are reported to have started rebellions without much success.
In April 248, Philip had the honour to lead the celebrations of the one thousandth birthday of Rome, founded in 753 BC by Romulus (see founding of Rome and ab urbe condita).

Silbannacus, probably near the Rhine frontier, and of Sponsianus, pehaps in Transylvania, are only known because of numismatic evidence.
Sponsianus is known from very mysterious aurei, found in Transylvania in 1713.
The main problem is the reverse side of Sponsianus' coins, which is identical with a republican reverse of the Minucii from the second century B.C. Hartmann deduces from this reverse side that Sponsianus may have been the leader of a "senatorial resistance" against Philip and therefore minted a republican reverse side.

The usurpations of Mar. Silbannacus, probably near the Rhine frontier, and of Sponsianus, pehaps in Transylvania, are only known because of numismatic evidence.
Therefore we can only say, that at some date -- perhaps during the 240s -- a man named Silbannacus was proclaimed emperor in Gaul or in one of the provinces of Germania, and that he was of Gallic origin.
Because coins of Philip and Gordian III were found in the same context, Sponsianus is believed to have been proclaimed emperor in the forties of the third century.

A more serious threat came from a general named Tiberius Claudius Marinus Pacatianus who was hailed as Augustus by several of the Danubian legions.

Yet the question of his own leadership was far from settled among the military, not to mention his son's accession.
The first rebellion was that of a certain Sibannacus on the Rhine, shortly afterwards followed by Sponsianus on the Danube.
These revolts were brief and easily dealt with.
