This series for Aurelian is the best historical documentary I have watched in a long while. Thank you for the top quality content!!

Are we 100% sure that Aurelian specifically went to campaign against the Goths in 275? There are some sources that claim it was not certain why he headed east, but some others say he was preparing a massive offensive against the Sasanian Empire, to take advantage of their turmoil at home.

@byronwaldron7933

3 жыл бұрын

It's an interesting controversy. Whereas the Historia Augusta claims that Aurelian was heading east for a Persian campaign, Syncellus and Zonaras refer to the Gothic campaign. The Historia Augusta is more unreliable in general, but Alaric Watson also gives a number of other reasons why the Gothic campaign is more likely. 1. John Malalas tells us that Aurelian was fighting an ongoing campaign in Thrace. 2. We know that Aurelian's successors Tacitus and Florian were also fighting Goths in the region, in Asia Minor. 3. I'll directly quote Watson: 'The literary sources imply, and some even explicitly state, that Aurelian was on the march when the assassins struck. The exact location is described by most of these sources as being ‘between Byzantium/Constantinople and Heraclea’. The order in which the cities are named hints at travel in a westerly direction. This is made explicit in a fragment of John of Antioch. Aurelian’s presence in that area might therefore be explained by the military requirements of his Balkan campaign, and indeed he may have used Byzantium as an operational base. The HA reverses the names of the cities, thereby implying that the fatal march was heading east, towards the Euphrates frontier.' We should also bear in mind that both Probus and Constantine were preparing for wars against Persia when they died, and so the Historia Augusta may well be conflating the fates of these emperors. Aurelian probably would have marched on Persia sooner or later had he lived longer, but whether he was planning on doing so in 275 or 276 is a more controversial matter.

Our pleasure!

Its joyous to hear these dulcet tones

Hey man, love your videos, i hope you will someday do a series on Skanderbeg like you did Michael the Brave, i loved that series and his struggle, Skanderbeg was in a similar situation except he never lost a battle and was against all odds. You are the best battle channel on youtube and your commentary hypes me up, you are the only one who can pull it off, id even support patreon if i could.

It's always nice to hear the "Wilhelm Scream" in your videos.

BEST VIDEO OF THE WEEK ! Finnaly nice surprise to start the weekend!

When the cavalry is outflanked by the infantry... only Aurelius would do such UNO reverse card shenanigans

Aurelian journey to restore the roman empire would be a great TV series!!!

One of my favs series!!! thx HistoryMarche!!! Was looking for more on Aurelian since I watched the rise and fall of Rome years back!!! Big UP! TY! :D

Godbless the KZread algorithm that brought me here. My new favorite channel. Amazing work. Bravo!

Another classic video Seriously nobody breakdown the tactical movements of the battle like y'all ♥️

Citizens of Antioch thinking Aurelian was captured and they won:💃💃💃🎉🎉🎉 Also citizens of Antioch when they see Aurelian the next day outside their walls with an army:😑😑😑😑😳😳😳😳

@@HistoryMarche hope he's doing ok in these trouble times. Great video.

The whole serie was awesome, thank you!

Omg... the ending, I’m shocked 😢💔

Aurelian, a great man who died a most inglorious manner. Rest In Peace, great emperor.

Best battle narrator voice on KZread 🏹🛡⚔️🏰🤙🏻

I cracked up when the word "FIRED!" was superimposed on the Bishop of Antioch!

A great video as usual. The quality is great in general but I particularly love the maps, they look absolutely amazing

Hey KHK, love to see you here. Thanks for watching.

Tactically genius! Wonderful videos as always. You definitely make the best battles videos, thank you so much!!

Another great video! Always worth the wait

This channel never ceases to interest me

Aurelian is the man who made the notion of "Restoring the Roman Empire" cool.

One of my absolute favorite channels! 🤙🏻

Thanks for the series, it was a detailed topic covering what I did not know much about, specially Palmyra's part, great work as always!

Epic video as always. Before this video my favorite roman was Belisarius but now.. i have doubts.. Aurelian was such an MVP. Really good strategist both in battle and politics and he pardon a lot of his rivals which kinda makes me feel he was such a nice and kind guy. Well maybe it was all politics and following Caesar path of mercy with your enemies which worked out alright for him😅

Your videos are amazing I love the way you really set the tone and atmosphere. The battle scenes are also amazing. Thank you for working so hard on this. Love your content.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

Just a correction, Aurelian was first granted the title Restitutor Orientis (Restorer of the East) after defeating Palmyra and only earned the upgraded title Restitutor Orbis (Restorer of the World)after defeating the Galling Empire and completing the reunification of the Empire.

Thank you. A like and comment to feed the algorithm. Good work as usual !
