Son of Maximinus I and Caecilia Paulina, Gaius Julius Verus Maximus was appointed Caesar by his father ca. AD 236. However, his reign was short lived as both he and his father were murdered two years later by the Praetorian Guard during the Siege of Aquileia. His death gave way for Pupienus and Balbinus to become co-emperors.
