Marcus Clodius Pupienus Maximus, born about 178, was an example of ascension in the Roman hierarchical system due to military success. He started as a primus pilus and became a military tribune, praetor, consul (twice) and governor of several Roman provinces including the troublesome Germania Inferior. In 234 he was prefect of Rome and gained a reputation for severity. In 238, the Year of the Six Emperors, he was co-emperor with Balbinus, and defeated Maximinus Thrax, only to be assassinated by the Praetorians less than 3 months later just outside Aquileia.

Roman Emperors - DIR Pupienus and Balbinus (1684 words)
Pupienus was probably around 60 at the time of his election.
While Pupienus had been in Ravenna, the brutal murder of two unarmed soldiers in the Senate had convulsed Rome in rioting, which eventually escalated into a civil war between the urban plebs, led by partisans of the Gordians, and the soldiers.
Pupienus and Balbinus were assassinated and Gordian III proclaimed as sole Augustus.
