The Senate Decimus Calvinus Balbinus Maximus and the Senate Dogma

The elder gordian heard what had happened to his son and resigned to his fate, chose to commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of the max ominions. The senate agreed that the only honorable thing left to do was carry on with the rebellion. So they chose two men who they agreed would be their new sovereigns: marcus claudius pupienus maximus and decimus celius calvinus balbinus.
