so far, of what i have read, yes he is quite a bad emperor. Especially with the things he has done such as:he took a lot of tax from the Roman Empire so he could double the pay for Roman soldiers, he always thought someone was plotting against him and if he suspected anyone he would execute them, he never set foot in Rome, despite being an Emperor. i haven't yet got round to reading if he has done any good things. he might have done a few good things but ill just have wait and see!! hope this answer helps! xx

Maximinus Thrax is generally considered a bad emperor by historians. He was known for his harsh and tyrannical rule, including imposing heavy taxes, confiscating property, and engaging in military campaigns that drained the empire's resources. His reign was marked by unrest and rebellion, and he was unable to gain the support and loyalty of the Roman Senate and the military.

Who was balbinus?
Decimus Caelius Calvinus Balbinus Pius Augustus was Roman Emperor with Pupienus for 99 days in 238, the Year of the Six Emperors. In that year there was a revolt against the arbitrary exercise of power by the emperor Maximinus Thrax. The governor of Africa, Gordian, was pressured into proclaiming himself emperor. Since he was 80 he made his son co-emperor with equal power. The senate declared them emperors as Gordian I and Gordian II. After 20 days the governor of nearby province of Numidia rebelled and defeated Gordian II, who died in battle. Gordian I hanged himself. The senate found no candidates to succeed the Gordians as the new emperor would have to defeat the army of Maximinus Thrax, who was marching on Rome. It therefore elected two elderly senators Pupienus and Balbinus as co-emperors because they had been part of a senatorial commission appointed to deal with Maximinus. The crowd threw stones at them. Marcus Antonius Gordianus Pius, the grandson of Gordian I, was nominated as emperor to appease the crowd in Rome which was loyal to the Gordians. He held only nominal power because he was only 13. Pupienus was sent to northern Italy confront Maximinus with an army. Maximinus failed to take the city of Aquileia and he and his son were killed by his soldiers, who surrendered to Pupienus. Balbinus had stayed in Rome. A fire in the city led to a mutiny. With Pupienus' return this ended, but the situation remained tense. The two men planned two simultaneous campaigns, one against the Persian and one against the Carpi of north-eastern Romania. However, they were suspicious of each other and were in frequent disagreement. During a row between them, the Praetorian (Imperial) Guard seized them, dragged them through the streets naked and killed them. Gordian III was proclaimed sole emperor. He was the youngest emperor in Roman history, but due to his age his rule remained nominal. Governance was held by the senate. He died six year later during a campaign against the Persians.
