Gordian III died
Time: Sunday Feb 11, 244
Place: Mesopotamia (Present-Day in Iraq)
Details: Gaius Julius Priscus and, later on, his own brother Marcus Julius Philippus, also known as Philip the Arab, stepped in at this moment as the new Praetorian Prefects Gordian would then start a second campaign. Around February 244, the Sasanians fought back fiercely to halt the Roman advance to Ctesiphon. The eventual fate of Gordian after the battle is unclear. Sasanian sources claim that a battle occurred (Battle of Misiche) near modern Fallujah (Iraq) and resulted in a major Roman defeat and the death of Gordian III.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
