A Tourist in Rome - Pupienus

Birth:168 AD
Death:July 29 238 AD
Emperor:3 months in 238

Pupienus was emperor with Balbinus for 3 months in 238, during the Year of the Six Emperors. The Praetorian Guard resented serving under these two Senate-appointed emperors, and they siezed both emperors, tortured them, and hacked them to death in their bath house.
