Furia Sabinia Tranquillina (c. AD 225 – aft. 244) was married to Emperor Gordian III. This may have been a politically strategic move to secure ties between the emperor and her father, Timesitheus, who became head of the Praetorian Guard in the same year as the wedding. Gordian III was a popular young emperor, becoming sole ruler at thirteen years of age, but his glory (and that of Tranquillina) was short-lived, as he died at the tender age of nineteen.
