History: Aurélien was born around 207 in Sirmium. After a brilliant military career, he was proclaimed august at Sirmium after the death of Claudius II and remained the only emperor after Quintille&#039;s suicide. He made the painful decision to abandon Dacia in 271 and then attacked Zenobia and Vaballath by seizing Palmyra in 272. Then, he undertook the reconquest of the Gaulish empire and defeated Tetricus at Châlons-sur-Marne. He triumphed in Rome and gave life to his distinguished prisoners. He was murdered while preparing a campaign against the Sassanids to reconquer Mesopotamia[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
