Emperor Aurelian: Restoring Rome's Glory

Emperor Aurelian, full name Lucius Domitius Aurelianus, lived from 214 to 275 AD. Aurelian rose to power in 270 AD during a period of crisis in the Roman Empire. He is most famous for reuniting the fractured empire by defeating various breakaway regions and reestablishing Roman control. Unfortunately, his reign was cut short when he was assassinated in 275 AD.

Aurelian was without a doubt one of the best Emperors that the Roman Empire ever had. Without him, it's fairly likely that the Empire would have fallen much earlier than originally. He possessed all the good attributes that Rome stood for, at least during its glorious days. Determination, ingeniousness and diligence.
