Dovahhatty – Unbiased History of Rome: Crisis of the Third Century

(6) PHILIP II –

NON-DYNASTIC / CRISIS OF THE THIRD CENTURY (247-249: 2 YEARS 2 MONTHS)

Another child emperor, Philip II or Philip the Younger was the son of Philip the Arab and was killed at 12 years of age. He was his father’s heir, proclaimed as co-emperor, only to run afoul of the same fate as his father killed by a rival imperial claimant. The only difference is that that there is some uncertainty of who killed Philip II, although the consensus of moden historians seems to be that the Praetorian Guard killed him after his father was killed.

DID DOVAHHATTY DO RIGHT

I do like how Dovahhatty makes him a younger wojak version of his father, but he looks a little older than he should!
