<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 8081034, member: 87200&quot;]In the case of the Gordians their revolt was quickly supported by the Senate, and they started to issue coins from the Rome mint at lightning speed. Similarly, when they were defeated by Capellianus - Maximinus&#039; governor of Numidia - the Senate feared that Thrax&#039; would act with vengeance against them, so they appointed two of their members, Balbinus and Pupienus, to the Imperium and tasked them with the defense of Rome. Pupienus actually defeated Maximinus during his ill fated siege of Aquileia, where Maximinus&#039; troops revolted and killed him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Balbinus and Pupienus ruled for only 3 months before they in turn were executed by the Praetorian Guard...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
