🧙‍♂️⚔"100 Rulers & Rebels of Rome". 📒 Day 34. #Balbinus (?-238). Arisrocrate, orator and poet, his co-reign with Pupienus was short and bitter as the two Emperors argued and feared each other' plots. His place: 🏛 Praetorian Barracks in Rome where he was killed.

It was #OnThisDay in 238AD that the short lived co-Emperors #Pupienus & #Balbinus were captured, dragged through the streets & executed by the #Praetorian Guard. They were elected emperors by the #Roman Senate on 22 April, but quarrelled often & there was no trust between them.

The brief #Roman Emperor #Pupienus is often represented as a serious looking military man, with his hair close cropped. His co-emperor, #Balbinus, who was killed with him in May 238AD, is usually shown as relaxed and reflective. They did not get on very well together!

238AD was known as the year of the 6 Emperors. #OnThisDay in that year, the #Roman Senate declared #Pupienas and #Balbinus as Co-Emperors against Maximinus Thrax. The Co-Emperors often quarrelled and during one of these they were killed so #Gordian III could become Emperor.
