He also ordered the punishment and execution of Aurelian's murderers. Some however, apparently survived. Reports of barbarian invasions from Gaul and raids in the region of Pontus in Asia Minor by the Herculi and several other tribes. They claimed that they were recruited by Aurelian to aid in the campaign against Persia and when they came from the Black sea, they received no pay. They raided many cities and managed to even reach Cilicia. Tacitus and the legions were close and they bought off many of the raiders as they can with the fee agreed by Aurelian. The ones who did not quit the raiding were defeated by the army led by the Praetorian Prefect, Florianus. The maternal half-brother of Tacitus. For this, Tacitus received the title of Gothicus Maximus
