Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Après la huitième émission de l’atelier de Rome, le denier n’est plus frappé de façon générale. Les émissions des empereurs suivants seront toujours sporadiques et liées à des donativa.
Type 3 ribbons. Invisible pteryga under the paludamentum. After the eighth issue from the Rome mint, the denarius was no longer generally minted. The issues of the following emperors will always be sporadic and linked to donativa

Historical background


GORDIAN III

(02-03/238-03/244)

Augustus

Gordian III is the grandson of Gordian I and the nephew of Gordian II, ephemeral emperors of the year 238. At the request of the people of Rome, he is chosen as Caesar by Balbin and Pupian and succeeds them after their assassinations. Emperor at 13, married at 16, killed at 19, this is how the life of this young man could be summed up, victim of the appetites of Philippe the Arab, new prefect of the praetorium.
