Added the page of Emperor Aurelian and some facts about him.It's not perfect, I know. So please add more information and make it chronological.
Aurelian (Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Augustus) was Roman Emperor from AD 270 to AD 275.
Aurelian was born in city of Sirmium, he came from humble backgrounds. He joined the Roman Army at a young age and rose through the ranks. He served multiple Emperors during the ((third-century crisis)) which saw multiple Emperors getting killed and invasions from barbarians and the Sassanid Persian Empire. After the death of Claudius II, Aurelian was declared Emperor by the Danubian Legions. The Roman senate chose Quintillus, the brother of Claudius II to succeed him. However, Quintillus was soon killed. Aurelian during his reign defeated the Gallic Roman Empire under Tetricus and the Palmyrene Empire under Zenobia and Vaballathus. He also defeated barbarian invasions and evacuated Roman Dacia. He was murdered in 275 by high ranking officials who were tricked into believing that Aurelian was going to murder or punish them. Since Aurelian was known for being a strict disciplinarian.
