[Date and place of birth unknown. Died at Aquileia, A.D. 238. Aged 18
or 21.]
Son of the Emperor Maximinus, who, on his accession to the purple in
235, raised him to the rank of Cæsar. Well educated, vain of his
personal beauty, and haughty of demeanour, but not evil disposed. He was
massacred with his father at Aquileia by the rebel Prætorians.
