Marcus Antonius Gordianus Sempronianus Romanus Africanus, an 80-year-old senator, was proclaimed as emperor during a revolt in Africa but commited suicide after his son and co-ruler Gordianus II. was defeated by Maximinus' legate Capellianus. Their "rule" only lasted for twenty days, hence the rarity of their coins.
