	Aurelian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aurelian was born in Sirmium, Pannonia, to an obscure provincial family; his father was tenant to a senator named Aurelius, who gave his name to the family.
		Aurelian, being an experienced commander, was aware of the importance of the army, and his propaganda, known through his coinage, shows he wanted the support of the legions.
		Aurelian's enemies in the Senate briefly succeeded in passing damnatio memoriae on the emperor, but this was reversed before the end of the year and Aurelian, like his predecessor Claudius, was deified as Divus Aurelianus.

	Aurelian's Eastern Campaign
		Aurelian, as did Claudius before him, always desired to re-unite the parts of the Empire that at the time has fallen away from the Empire; Zenobia's Palmyra and the Gallic Empire founded by Postumus and later ruled by his son Tetricus.
		In a series of forced marches, Aurelian reached Antioch in the spring of 273ad, where he learned that under the leadership of a certain Apsaeus, the Palmyrenes has declared Septimius Antiochus, a 5 year old boy and reputed son of Zenobia, to be their king.
		This appears to be unlikley; Aurelian must've known that the civil conflict and the resulting loss of manpower would be a powerful blow to Imperial defenses against the Goths after Tetricus was gone, and would've almost certainly preferred a less bloody solution.

	Aurelian's Wall
		This situation forced Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) to undertake the building of a new belt wall, since the old one (the Republican Wall) was by this time a ruin, and since the city, after half a millennium of unopposed domination, was spread in all the surroundings.
		The belt of Aurelian, finished in few years by civilian corporations, was built with a brick wall about 6 meters high and 3.5 meters thick; the perimeter was about 19 kilometers long and was protected each 30 meter by a square tower.
		The aim of Aurelian was limited to stop crowds of invaders not able to face long sieges or to launch powerful attacks; but the situation of Rome got worse at the point that, only 25 years later, Emperor Maxentius undertook a considerable reinforcement, recognizable in some parts by the building technique in opus listatum.
