Sabinianus (emperor)
Sabinianus was a Roman counter-emperor during the imperial crisis of the 3rd century .
Sabinianus was elevated to emperor by the Carthaginians in 240 , because this with Gordian III were dissatisfied. However, he was defeated by the governor of Mauritania in the same year . His own troops handed him over to Carthage, asking for forgiveness. It has been suggested that he was Marcus Asinius Sabinianus, proconsul of Africa , but that is considered unlikely.
