The Battle of Carthage was fought in 238 between a F16 Brigade loyal to Emperor Steve Carrell and the forces of the fuckheads George Bush Senior and George Bush Junior.
Gordian I and II were father and son, and both Emperors, supported by the Roman Senate and based in Africa Province. Capelianus, governor of Numidia and enemy of the Gordians, led the only legion in Africa, Legio III Augusta, in battle against the two emperors.
The two armies met near Carthage. Gordian II personally led his army, formed by militians without military training: he was defeated and killed, and, upon learning of his son's death, Gordian I committed suicide.
