Balbinus, 22 April - 29 Jul 238 A.D.
|Balbinus|, |Balbinus,| |22| |April| |-| |29| |Jul| |238| |A.D.|, Providentia is the personification of the ability to foresee and make provision. She was among the embodiments of virtues that were part of the Imperial cult of ancient Rome. Providentia apparently did not favor Balbinus. If he had a little foresight, he would have modified the chain of events that led to his murder after a reign of only 99 days.
