<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TJC, post: 2952316, member: 45502&quot;]It is my opinion that when Aemilian defeated the dreaded gothic general Cniva he practically had to claim the purple.&nbsp; Cniva killed two emperors at Abritus and only let Trebonianus Gallus and the remaining Roman army leave with the promise of more tribute from Rome.&nbsp; Cniva also got to keep all the loot he had.&nbsp; Arbitus was the a major loss that only victory could erase.&nbsp; Aemilian won that victory against Cniva! This would be equal to defeating Hannibal during the RR era.&nbsp; The question I have is why did the troops turn on Aemilianus so quickly when Valerian challenged him?&nbsp; I guess that Aemilian just did not have the cult of personality and/or political skills that that Valerian had.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aemilian / Dacia, beat up but recognizable</p><p>[ATTACH=full]721480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]721481[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
