@CipiRipi00 To add to this, often, Emperors and Kings lead their armies as. Otherwise, they would give up too much power to uspers who are more loyal to the general than the leader. It was why Ceaser could enact his Coup with such firm support from his legionaries and likely a contributing factor toward this period of unrest, namely that great generals had the potential to also become Emperor. Aurelian, while undoubtedly part of the disease that ravaged Rome, was also the reason it remained so strong for so long. Ambitious men were capable of enacting great deeds are also the kind of folk to resolve issues creatively. It also was the reason leader turnover was so frequent, there was always someone else rising up to take the stand.

Aurelian reminds me of my favourite ancient general of all time, Antigonus I Monophthalmus. Always knew what to do and what trick to use that would make the situation play into his hands. The big difference is, Antigonus' enemies were able to successfully unite and defeat him, Aurelian's weren't. Phenomenal men, both of them. Love History Marche too! 👍

Great series. Would love to see the a series on the judean civil wars leading up to (and during) the siege of Jerusalem, Hadrian’s war in Judaea, or the second Dacian war next.

Aurelian detaching part of his line to win that second battle is such prime Romanshit. So few other armies throughout time had infantry forces disciplined enough to do that but the Roman’s had been capable of it since they were using maniples.

Yeah being a military autocrat has the advantage of being able to kill anyone who disagrees with you, but this is part of the problem. Rome may have survived because of Aurelian but the damage was too deep already. Any competant general could simply march ahead of an army and claim power. And any great leader could be killed for any reason. Diocletion just made it worse. Same with Constantine. Only hope Rome had to avoid total collapse was a full restoration of the Republic, which no one with any real influence would ever do. Everything that happened during and after this century, Rome deserved.

Plus it was much easier for the provincials to be loyal to one man than to a large group halfway across the sea. The first military revolts after Augustus happened as early as during the reign of Tiberius.

Yep. He's only remembered, if at all, for changing the official language to Greek and his losses against the rising power of Islam (and for Yarmouk of course) when he was but a tired old man at that time, incapable of leading his armies like he did against the Persians years ago. He was a brilliant Emperor and ensured the survival of Eastern Rome *twice* in the face of overwhelming odds, first against the Persians and secondly through his reforms to establish the Themata that ensured the Arabs would not be able to go past th Taurus mountains in Anatolia.

This documentary is absolutely great! Thanks a lot for your comfort. I really like the length of this series; perfect to listen to while I am cooking, cleaning or tidying up :)

Great Video as Always!!

Great video what a great commander, shame he didn't send generals out and concentrate on the empire. Orleans was named after Aurelian, I always think of that when I go to New Orleans.

This channel changed my life. You doing better than a school can do. I thank you so much for your effort.

Wow, thank you!

Excellent series!

so glad they made a youtube video based off my favorite total war campaign

Finally it's time! My favorite Emperor of the Romans. Divi Augustus Lucius Domitius Aurelianus!

Emperor AURELIAN shall be NOT UNDERestimated, UNDERrated nor overlooked any more. He has become my favorite Caesar AND Augustus for all Time!

Adoro tus videos, gran recopilación x cierto :p

Incredible work as always. Can you please make a series for King of Epirus Pyrrhus the eagle?

A sacrifice in memory of Aurelian.

It's always a good day when HistoryMarche brings a video out

Love this channel, Kings and Generals and naturally Epic History TV! I pretty much only watch that on youtube.

Amazing History! Thank you so much.

Brilliant collaboration of all previous/newer videos.!! Brilliant part of roman history..and an emperor taken away from the world far before his time..could have done some amazing reforms if he got a chance to catch his breath..if he wanted to,lol..he was/ forced to be over ambitious due to his time in power and the circumstances!! Cheers Historymarche
