AURELIAN
215 (?) - 275

Lucius Domitius Aurelianus, Aurelian for his friends, was Roman emperor from 270 - 275.

Aurelian's brother Quintillus was emperor for three months in the year 270. Quintillus then died, which might or might not have been of natural causes, and Aurelian succeeded him in September 270.

Aurelian had his hands full with raiding tribes. So he fortified Rome and built a wall around the city, the location of which is outlined on this map:
