马克西米努斯

公元235年，马克西米努斯在德国负责统帅新兵团。士兵们极力拥护他称帝，并杀了当时的罗马帝国皇帝亚历山大·塞维鲁（Alexander），从而把这位巨人推向权力的巅峰。

In 235 AD , when in command of a force of recruits in Germany , the soldiers decided they would prefer Maximinus to be their ruler , killing Alexander and putting the giant into a position of ultimate power .

马克西米努斯成为了一位独特的罗马皇帝，因为他从来没有去过罗马。

He carries the distinction of being a Roman emperor who never actually visited Rome .

只会打仗的马克西米努斯不断侵占或没收所有者阶级的领土，还率军向意大利挺进，意图减少意大利对他皇位的威胁。

With war being all he knew , he extorted and confiscated lands from the property owning class , finally heading to Italy to suppress his challengers to the throne .

但公元238年，在尚未抵达罗马之前，马克西米努斯就被部下们杀害了，因为他们意识到光有魁梧的身材是远远不够的，而且他是一位非常糟糕的领袖。

He never made it to Rome though , as his troops killed him in 238 AD after apparently realizing size isn 't everything , and he was a pretty terrible leader .
