The information I&#039;ve been able to find says it was inscribed, <i>&quot;To the deified Gordian, conqueror of the Persians, conqueror of the Goths, conqueror of the Sarmatians, queller of mutinies at Rome, conqueror of the Germans, but no conqueror of Phillipi.&quot; ...</i>the inscription is said to have been destroyed by Licinius who &quot;who may have claimed descent from Philip, so removed what could be construed as suggesting that he had committed regicide.&quot; (although the &quot;Phillipi&quot; referenced was probably not Philip but where he was defeated or killed.)
