This man met the Parthian king Artabatus V at the Battle of Nisibis, and he became emperor after convincing Julius Martialis to murder his predecessor. This emperor appointed his ten year old son Diadumenianus as co-emperor, and he was deposed after losing a battle at Antioch against the grandson of Julia Maesa, Elagabalus. For 15 points, identify this first man to become emperor of Rome who was not a senator, who ruled briefly from  217 to 218.
