# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 158, Marcus Antonius Gordianus Sempronianus Romanus lived a long life before the throne found him at eighty. In 238 — the Year of the Six Emperors — he and his son Gordian II were pulled into an uprising against Maximinus Thrax. They ruled together for 22 days. Battle went badly. His son died first. Gordian I followed him by his own hand in April 238.
