To raise the needed money, Roman senators were to contribute according to their means. This led to corruption and abuse, and the sum came up short.

Other emperors certainly closed and reopened the Gates of the Janus, but references in later and less thorough historians are fairly rare. There is a record of Gordian III in about the year 241 opening the doors for his war with Shapur I .
