Opposition came from the neighboring province of Numidia.[2] Capelianus, governor of Numidia and a loyal supporter of Maximinus Thrax, held a grudge against Gordian[30] and invaded the African province with the only legion stationed in the region, III Augusta, and other veteran units.[31] Gordian II, at the head of a militia army of untrained soldiers, lost the Battle of Carthage and was killed,[30] and Gordian I took his own life by hanging himself with his belt.[32] The Gordians had reigned only 21 days.[7] Gordian was the first emperor to commit suicide since Otho in 69 during The Year of the Four Emperors.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4636.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4636.txt
