Mismatch of Information about Age

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Currently, the "Reign" section states, "Balbinus was probably in his early seventies: his qualifications for rule are unknown, except presumably that he was a senior senator, rich and well-connected." However, the lede and the information side bar state that he died at 60. Can someone with a better knowledge of Roman history weigh in on which is more likely correct?
