Philip I the Arab was Roman Emperor from 244-249 AD. He was the first Emperor to come from the Roman province of Arabia.
He rose through the army to become Praetorian Commander under Gordian III. During the Persian campaign his troops gave him their support against Gordian and made him emperor.
In 248 AD Philip had the honor of leading the celebrations of Rome's first millennium (1000th anniversary) with spectacular games and celebrations.
In 249 AD both Philip and his son were killed after their army was defeated near Verona by the forces of Trajan Decius.
