Lot # 992 - GORDIAN I AFRICANUS (238). Sestertius. Rome. Obv: IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AFR AVG. Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.Rev: PROVIDENTIA AVGG / S - C. Providentia standing left, leaning upon column to right, holding cornucopia and wand over globe.RIC 9.Marcus Antonius Gordianus Sempronianus Africanus, better known as Gordian I, was Roman emperor for a few weeks in 238, together with his son Gordian II. Gordian I came from a wealthy family of the equestrian order related to several senators. The name Gordian suggests an Anatolian origin, from the city of Gordius. He had a sister, Antonia Gordiana, who was the mother of Gordian III. It seems that Gordian accepted the empire in old age only on the condition that his son would be associated with it, in order to succeed him. His political career began as Quaestor under Elagabalus and as Praetor and Consul under Severus Alexander. He also wrote an epic poem entitled The Antoninians to celebrate the emperor Caracalla. Gordian commanded the Legio Scythica in Syria. He held the office of governor in Britain in AD 216 and was consul suffectus under Elagabalus. The fact that his name was erased from some inscriptions in Britain suggests that he was disgraced and later rehabilitated. After a rebellion in Africa in 238, mainly because of the exorbitant taxes imposed by Maximinus, Gordian accepted the imperium offered by the army and also the title of Africanus. He entered Carthage acclaimed by the crowd and politicians, while in Rome the prefect of the Praetorians was assassinated. The Senate, happy to deprive Maximinus, accepted the new emperor, and most of the Provinces sided with him. However, Capelius, governor of Numidia and supporter of Maximinus Thrax, invaded the province of Africa with the Legio III Augusta, composed of veterans. Gordian II, was defeated and killed in the battle of Carthage. Following the death of his son, Gordian I committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt, after just twenty days of reign.

Apollo seated left, holding branch and resting elbow on lyre.RIC 102; Calicó 3221.Born to a daughter of Gordian I, sister of Gordian II, because of the young age at which he came to occupy the throne (13), Gordian did not rule directly, but the Senate did so for him. Gordian had become prince because the Senate needed to placate an uprising of the traditionalist urban plebs, bound to the dynastic ideal, and in order to take advantage of his family's wealth. Moreover, the praetorians had acclaimed him emperor just to show the Senate that they were the ones who decided who to put on the throne. Among the first moves was the dismissal of the legion in Africa because it had supported Capellianus and led to the deaths of Gordian I and II, who were deified. During his relatively long tenure there were several problems to deal with. In 240 Sabinianus, elected caesar in Carthage, prepared to make war on him, but was stopped by the governor of Mauretania. In the north the barbarians were making constant raids and sacking villages and towns. Gordian was too young to face these problems, but fortunately for him he could count on the diplomatic and military skill of Timesitheus, who had become prefect of the praetorium and granted him his daughter, Tranquillina, in marriage in 241. Rome succeeded in repelling the Persians of Shapur I in 243 thanks to Timesitheus, but on his death he was replaced as prefect of the praetorium by Marcus Julius Philip known as 'the Arab'. The latter, however, was not satisfied with this title but aimed at the throne, and he convinced the army that they needed an adult prince and not a boy. Gordian showed maturity and offered to cede the throne to Philip and become his caesar, but he was killed in 244. The Senate was informed that he had died of wounds sustained in a battle against the Persians. His body was sent to Rome where he was deified. Condition: Mint state, FDC.Weight: 4.89 g.
