Maximus Maximilius - The Germanicus Maximus

Maximinius had to thwart at least two murderous conspiracies, one of which was organized by elements in the senate itself. He started marking down suspect senators, equites and military officers who he felt rather too severan not to attempt some kind of revenge for his murder of alexander. Interestingly, one of the provincial governors whom maximinius passed over as being neither too severein nor too senatorial, was the old proconsul of africa - mar us antonius gordianus empronionus.
