	Aurelian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aurelian entered in Italia, but his army was defeated in an ambush near Placentia (January 271).
		Aurelian won this campaign largely through diplomacy; the "Gallic Emperor" Tetricus II was willing to abandon his throne and allow Gaul and Britain to return to the empire, but could not openly submit to Aurelian.
		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.

	Aurelian
		Aurelian was clearly a contender for the vacant throne after the assassination, but Claudius Gothicus was the preferred choice.
		However, Aurelian was aware that essentially the troubles within the capital had been sparked off by the fear of invasion, Aurelian took to building a wall around his unprotected capital in AD 271 - the Aurelian Wall.
		Aurelian decided that both of these independent states should be destroyed, and first took to oversee the crushing of the Palmyra, by far the greater threat to his empire - as it controlled Egypt and its grain supply.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Aurelian
		Aurelian had a military career; as dux equitum (commander of the cavalry), he joined the conspiracy against the emperor Gallienus in A.D. 268 and supported the new ruler Claudius II Gothicus, under whose reign he continued his career, becoming supreme commander of the whole cavalry of the Roman army [[5]].
		The Palmyrene war (A.D. Aurelian's next project was the reintegration of the Eastern provinces into the Roman Empire [[15]]: Zenobia of Palmyra and her son Vaballathus had established the Palmyrene Empire extending from Egypt to Asia Minor.
		Aurelian was married to Ulpia Severina (her name is only known from inscriptions and coins) and had a daughter.

	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 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But there were still two big chunks of the former empire that had broken away during the reign of Gallienus, the western "Gallic" empire that had seceded under their governor Postumus and the eastern territories that had fallen under the control of the Palmyrene ruler Zenobia.
		By some accounts, she died on the way to Rome; but others say she was put on display as planned, then given a villa near Rome, where she died soon afterwards.
		Aurelian treated the Palmyrans rather well initially, but when they again rose in revolt, he gave his soldiers free rein to trash the place, and it never recovered.

	December 25th Celebrated 300 Years Before Christ
		The event was preserved by academics on Rhodes or in Alexandria, and seems to have been passed to Caesar by the Hellenistic Egyptian scientists, who advised him on his calendrical reforms.
		The date was chosen because the emperor seems to have believed that the Roman sun god and Christ were virtually one and the same, and the sun's birthday had been decreed as 25 December some 50 years earlier by one of Constantine's predecessors, the Emperor Aurelian.
		He, in turn, seems to have chosen 25 December because, ever since Julius Caesar's calendar reforms of 46 BC, that date had been fixed as the official winter solstice, even though the real date for the solstice in Caesar's time was 23 December.

	DIY Rome - The City Walls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Therefore emperor Aurelian, who had reunited the crumbling empire and quelled internal revolts, decided that the city needed a new set of walls: in only five years (from 271 to 275) Rome's boundaries enclosed a much wider area, especially on the western side of the city.
		These are the walls still standing for most of their length, with the only exception of the western segment; during the centuries, restoration works were carried out many times, as can be told by the different brick and stone textures, by some inscriptions and by several crests of the ruling popes.
		Since the old wall by Aurelian was no longer in good condition, the pope decided to enclose the top of the hill within Rome, thus expanding the city towards the western side of the Janiculum, and slightly shortening the ancient roman boundary by the southernmost end of the wall.

	The catacombs the destination of the Great Jubilee - Enrico Dal Covolo
		Zephyrinus, the successor of Pope Victor (189-199) put Callistus in charge of the catacomb complex on the Appian Way: a prestigious appointment, and one of mediation between the Christian community in Rome - which were the legal owners and administrators of the property by rights of association - and the civil authorities.
		The account in the Acts is substantially confirmed by the excavations and reports of A. Nestori (1968-1985) regarding the catacombs of Calepodius on the Aurelian Way.
		Finally, Nestori's excavations brought to light some paintings from the cemeterial basilica dating at the latest from the seventh or eighth centuries, which in their turn confirm the cruel dynamics of the martyrdom transmitted by the Acts (scene of the stoning at the well and the martyr's burial).
