Philip II (Latin: Marcus Julius Severus Philippus; 237 – 249), also known as Philip the Younger, was the son and heir of the Roman emperor Philip the Arab by his wife Marcia Otacilia Severa.

Life

[edit]
Aureus of Philip II

When his father became emperor in 244, the 7-year-old Philip was appointed caesar. In 247 he became consul, and was later elevated by his father to the rank of augustus and co-ruler.[2] The thousandth anniversary of the founding of Rome occurred during their reign and great games and spectacles were planned for the celebration.[3]

Ancient historians say that Philip the Arab and Philip II were both killed in battle by Decius in 249.[4] Modern historians say that when news of Philip the Arab's death reached Rome, Philip II was murdered by the Praetorian Guard at the age of twelve.[2][4][5] Some argue that Philip II was sole ruler of the empire for the fall of 249.[4]
