PHILIPPUS, MARCUS JULIUS

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 401 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHILIPPUS, MARCUS JULIUS , Roman emperor A.D. 244 to 249, often called " Philip the Arab," was a native of Bostra in Arabia Trachonitis. Having entered the Roman army, he rose to be praetorian praefect in the Persian campaign of
Gordian
  III., and, inspiring the soldiers to slay the
young
  emperor, was raised by them to the purple (244). Of his reign little is known except that he celebrated the secular games with
great
  pomp in 248, when Rome was supposed to have reached the thousandth year of her existence. A rebellion broke out among the legions of Moesia, and Decius, who was sent to quell it, was forced by the troops to put himself at their head and
march
  upon Italy. Philip was defeated and slain in a battle near Verona. According to Christian writers, he was a convert to Christianity.
See Aurelius
Victor
 , Caesares, 28; Eutropius, ix. 3; Zonaras,
19.
