MARIMINUS, GAIUS JULIUS VERUS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 925 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARIMINUS, GAIUS JULIUS VERUS , Roman emperor from A.D. 235 to 238, was born in a
village
  on the confines of Thrace. He was of barbarian parentage and was brought up as a shepherd. His immense stature and enormous feats of strength attracted the attention of the emperor Septimius Severus. He entered the army, and under Caracalla rose to the rank of
centurion
 . He carefully absented himself from court during the reign of
Heliogabalus
 , but under his successor Alexander Severus, was appointed supreme
commander
  of the Roman armies. After the murder of Alexander in Gaul, hastened, it is said, by his instigation, Maximinus was pro-claimed emperor by the soldiers on the 19th of
March
  235. The three years of his reign, which were spent wholly in the camp. were marked by
great
  cruelty and oppression; the wide-spread discontent thus produced culminated in a revolt in Africa and the assumption of the purple by
Gordian
  (q.v.). Maximinus, who was in Pannonia at the time, marched against Rome, and passing over the Julian Alps descended on Aquileia; while detained before that city he and his son were murdered in their tent by a
body
  of praetorians. Their heads were cut off and despatched to Rome, where they were burnt on the Campus
Martius
  by the exultant crowd.
Capitolinus, Maximini duo; Herodian vi. 8, vii., viii. 15; Zosimus i. 13-15).
