Philip I came to power after rousing the Roman army against Emperor Gordian III and perhaps causing his death. In A.D. 248, he threw a huge festival for the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of the city of Rome – a grand spectacle including theatrical productions throughout the city, gladiator fights at the Colosseum, sacrifices of exotic animals to deities, and other lavish observances.
