Background the events that took place during his reign.

The middle of the 3rd century was characterised by major 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?]. In particular, economic, religious, military and political unrest contributed to a period of instability at 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?] and its frontiers.

The emperors came from either political or 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?] backgrounds depending on how much support they had. The life expectancy of an emperor was very 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?] as they were murdered and replaced by their 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?].

He came to prominence through his military career and served under the emperor Gordian as the praetorian prefect. After 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?] was killed in battle by the Persians, Philip became the emperor. His reign was relatively short (244-249 AD) before he was 24471ArabianbumpchiselconcernconcernedconcernscontabulatacroppedEmpireeyesfurrowedgazeGordianhairhighidealjawlifelikemanmaterialmilitarymouthmurderedmurderersnosepatricianRepublicrightRomeshortstateSyriantogaunflatteringunrestveristic[?] by his own soldiers.
