After the death of Valerian, he served the Emperors Gallienus and Claudius II. He was in command of the wars against the [[Goths]] and the Herculi. He was then put in charge of a large and elite Cavalry force and then was put in charge of mopping up operations in the Balkans against the Goths who were defeated by Claudius II. 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 or he committed suicide. Aurelian arrived in Rome and he eventually ordered the construction of a wall to protect the city of Rome from potential barbarian invasions. Since he was going to be away from Rome for some time on campaign. The construction of the wall started in AD 271 and these set of walls are known as the wall of Aurelian. They incorporated many monuments into the design such as the mausoleum of Hadrian to save resources and time. The Emperor Maxentius upgraded the walls and doubled it's height to protect Rome from the forces of his rival, Constantine I.
