Not particularly. If he would have lived 5 years. HE would have died; Diocletian more than likely would have still ruled. and history would roughly be about the same. Prolonging the fall by having Majorian live for 10-20 years more than he did would change more. He could have retaken Africa, and reduced and reaffirmed the empires Authority over Every province. His reign would also add stability which the empire so desperately needed at the time. given that stability, the empire may have fell 50-70 years in the future. or 30 (496-540 or so) that alone would throw so many developments off into future. The franks if they took over, could have been unable to stop the Muslims. etc etc. Majorian, with his help extended the life of the empire by about 5-10 years. Ricimer if he was killed. the empire in the west would have remained, but as a figurehead.

I agree. During the battle of Emesa, Aurelian's cavalry continued to fight furiously despite being poorly routed from the battlefield by Zabdas's heavy cavalry while the Aurelian was with the legions against the Palmyra infantry. Like Julius Ceaser, he gambled on sending back some of his infantry to help the retreating cavalry despite the legion & himself being overwhelmed by the Palmyra army. Still, he had faith in the abilities of his men (particularly his veteran legions), who believed/had confidence in him as emperor. The resilience & discipline of Aurelian's troops against the odds was nothing short of a miracle for the Romans. Elements of the legion had club-armed Palestinians who were highly influential in tight spaces against Zabdas's cavalry, which proved devastating for the Palmryne heavy armored men.

@SolidAvenger1290
@SolidAvenger1290 10 месяцев назад
I agree. I think most mainstream scholars in many historical circles over the centuries have glossed over the achievements of Diocletian in ending the Crisis of the Third Century (many schools simply mention Aurelian briefly for less than a min & largely forget his successor Emperor Probus by going immediately to Dicletion because he was like their George Washington) and that many filmmakers (mainly Hollywood) tend to focus more on the very controversial & almost evil tyrannical emperors in Roman history. (though it's much deeper than most think) You have Julius Caesar through many media forms (because of Ending the Republic}, Crassus in the Spartacus TV show because he's hungry for wealth & power, the transfer of power from Marcus Aurelius to the flawed emotional Commodus (which many people debate on) in Ridley Scott's Gladiator, Caligula & Tiberius's story through Netflix's Rome/The Barbarian series, and the list goes on. The most underrated & good emperors like Aurelian always get forgotten by the "expert" masses because of the narrative set by the primary institutions that more or less likely see Roman civilization as morally black than one of the greyest stories of humanity's upbringing & the further development of Western Civilization.

This is one of the best videos about Aurelian. I hope that someone can replicate the efforts & filmmaking mastery of Director Ridley Scott to produce a series/film covering Aurelian's reign amid the Crisis of the Third Century. Aurelian's story has all the critical elements that made the Roman Empire truly unique in human history. Yet, it still highlights the same old corruption & power-hungry system that ended Julius Caesar, Aurelien, Probus, and many other emperors who died before their time. Some were necessary for Rome's benefit, but most were examples of how corruption guided the masses to eliminate good emperors that made the empire strong & unified.

Aurelian got more done in five years than a modern day President in two terms.
@SolidAvenger1290
@SolidAvenger1290 7 месяцев назад
Yeah, he did. Presidents in the modern age only have 12 to 24 months to do the actual real policy work for the people underneath an 8-year term, where most of it is stuck between almost 3-4 years of being either a lame duck period OR more intense negotiations/sacrifices with their political rivals to keep most of their agenda afloat while trying to ensure their house of representatives or Congress was on their party's side during midterms, etc. Aurelian's short yet amazing reign was like having two different presidential administrations (16 years in total for US Presidents) in only 5 years alone amid his endless energy from crisis to crisis while bringing stability to the empire in the 270s. The same could be said of his successor Emperor Probus when he took over after Aurelian's death but tragically the corruption from Rome & hints of jealousy within the Roman ranks made their reigns short-lived.

Aurelian's treatment of Zenobia and particularly of Tetricus and his former supporters shows how great a statesman he was, never mind him being a brilliant general - most probably the best Roman emperor and general since Trajanus. Rome lost a great ruler when Aurelian was murdered, arguably the worst tragedy for Rome since the assassination of Julius Caesar.

A fantastic video. gosh, the bar keeps on being set higher. I think Aurelian is definitely up there along with Gallienus and Probus as being the best emperors of this period. To comment on the reliability of the Historia Augusta versus the Byzantine historians is that Zonaras and George Syncellus were using a source that covered this era and would have been, fairly faithfully reworking that source into their own works. There are some candidates for this period of what that source is, probably John of Antioch, who wrote in the sixth century who likely used an earlier third or fourth century source. However, despite these issues, I think when it comes to a conflict of information between the HA and Zonaras (Byzantines sources) the Byzantine sources should be preferred. So I could see Aurelian fighting another campaign in the Balkans as being more likely that preparing a campaign to invade Persia.

A very interesting video and well produced. As a sidenote I also liked the background music, and its sound level was perfect. I'm impressed by the amount of content in the episode. I will return to your channel for more videos.

Uh?!? WOW respect so much info and lore about this guy who ruled for barely 5 years incredible historic figure who is never covered in popular culture like Caligula or even Caesar no films only 1 notable doc which is also incredible considering the peplum genre. You have out done the Gallianeus video, love the presentation and graphics too. All your old videos should be revised in this new format

The great Aurelian, if I could say he had a one-two punch team. It definitely would've been Claudius of Gothicus. After the unfortunate reign of Gallienus. Aurelian and Claudius turn the momentum back on the empire against the Germanic tribes, this is the point were Aurelian was Claudius general and head of his cavalry. As head commanding the caverly Aurelian always lead the decisive attack that won the battles against the Germanic warrior. The most pivotal point would be at the battle of naissus 268 or 269. Aurelian and Claudius figure that to ultimately win out routed the Germanic armys, this is the start that Aurelian continue when Claudius succumb to his ill'ness cause by the plague. Aurelian with his strength and intelligent press on as emperor and save the empire in five year rule. If they were still together only god knows?

Your introduction could be the intro of an amazing RPG game, where you play Aurelian to unify the fractured realm.

Please keep the format and intro style in this video. If you do ever video like this: the intro short and voiced over by the main historical person of focus and then go into their history, it really keeps it interesting.

I would happily pay for a TV-series/Movies/Video Games about the Roman Empire from Valerian/Gallienus/Claudius II/Aurelian cause without these 4, the Roman Empire would’ve collapsed.

Excellent video as always, you've outdone yourself! By the way, is that... Ray Stevenson's voice? It sounds like Titus Pullo is narrating, and I love it. Videos on the Gallic and Palmyrene Empire would be awesome. Aurelian was truly an amazing person, he restored the Empire and basically put an end to the Crisis of the Third Century; a few problems persisted until Diocletian but Aurelian truly saved the Empire. What fools who assassinated him... and that worthless secretary who forged those letters, I hope his execution was particularly long and torturous; he deserved it. Interestingly though, and while I do understand the rationale behind abandoning Dacia and shortening the Danube frontier, it's a precursor of things to come... it's the first long-held Roman province to be permanently abandoned, notwithstanding Constantine reestablishing some influence north of the Danube. After that, the Empire became even more reactive to external threats, never really making significant conquests outside the "legacy" provinces.
