He was murdered in AD 275 while marching to campaign against the Persian Sassanids by high ranking officials who were tricked by a Secretary of Aurelian name Eros into believing that Aurelian was going to murder or punish them. He was succeeded by Marcus Claudius Tacitus, a old Senator. The army was so shocked at his murder that they did not want to appoint a Emperor after they found out members of their own murdered Aurelian. So they consulted the Roman Senate and eventually they chose Tacitus as [[Emperor]] of the [[Roman Empire]].
