Gordian III was Roman Emperor from 238 AD to 244 AD. At the age of 13, he became the youngest sole legal Roman emperor throughout the existence of the Roman Empire. Gordian was the son of Antonia Gordiana and an unnamed Roman Senator who died before 238AD. Antonia Gordiana was the daughter of the Emperor Gordian I and the younger sister of the Emperor Gordian II. Very little is known of his early life, but Gordian had assumed the name of his maternal grandfather by 238 AD.

Excellent details overall.
