In AD 238 opposition to Maximinus Thrax turns into open revolt. Landowners and officials in Roman Africa proclaim the elderly Gordian I and his son Gordian II as emperors, forcing the Senate to decide whether to support them or submit to the soldier-emperor marching towards Italy.
The rebellion spreads across an empire held together by uncertain loyalties. Sidebottom follows the African uprising, the senatorial conspiracy and the competing armies whose decisions transform a provincial protest into the Year of the Six Emperors.
