NEW MAP: Europe 242: Gordian III’s Persian War ( summer 242) https://buff.ly/3btnyHK Pupienus and Balbinus ruled Rome for just a few months before they were assassinated by the Praetorian Guard in July 238, leaving the 13-year-old Gordian III as sole emperor. Meanwhile, Sasanian Persia continued to expand, capturing Hatra, capital of the Roman-aligned Kingdom of Araba, in 240 or 241. From Hatra, the Persians invaded the Roman Empire itself, leading Gordian to rally his troops and declare war in 242. #thirdcentury #3rdcentury #ancientrome #ancienthistory #ancientpersia #cartographer #cartography #edessa #europe #europeanhistory #goths #historic #history #historybuff #historyfacts #historymajor #historymatters #historymuseum #maps #mesopotamia #numidia #persianempire #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #sasanian #romans #newmap (at Hatra)https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtWPunABLz/?igshid=1wdf6vldicbkt -- source link
