The eventual fate of Gordian after the following battle is unclear.
Sasanian sources claim that a battle occurred (Battle of Misiche) near modern Fallujah (Iraq).
This resulted in a major Roman defeat and the death of Gordian III.
One view holds that Gordian died at Zaitha, murdered by his frustrated army.,
The deposition of Gordian's body is also a matter of controversy.
According to David S. Potter, Philip transferred the body of the deceased Emperor to Rome and arranged for his deification.
Some scholars state that Philip l had Gordian buried at Zaitha after the campaign against the Sasanians had ended in failure.
Emperor Gordian lll was the youngest emperor at 13 years old.
