EMPEROR AURELIAN

Aurelijan je došao na vlast 270. godine nakon smrti Klaudija Gotičkog. U mladosti se isticao svojim vojničkim vještinama te je brzo napredovao u rimskoj vojsci. Istakao se u službi Klaudija Gotičkog te se nametnuo kao logički nasljednik. Njegovu vladavinu je okarakteriziralo konstantno ratovanje u svrhu obrane carstva i povratku rimskih zemalja koje su potpale pod Palmirsko i Galsko carstvo. Aurelijan je uspio obnoviti teritorijalnu cjelovitost carstva te pogiba od ruke vlastitih zapovjednika koji ga ubijaju na temelju lažnih informacija.Aurelian came to power in the year 270 after the death of Claudius Gothicus.
