As emperor, he won an unprecedented series of military victories which reunited the Roman Empire after it had nearly disintegrated under the pressure of barbarian invasions and internal revolts. Born in modest circumstances, most likely in Moesia Superior, he entered the Roman army in 235 and climbed up the ranks. He went on to lead the cavalry of the emperor Gallienus, until Gallienus' assassination in 268. Following that, Claudius Gothicus became emperor until his own death in 270. Claudius' brother Quintillus ruled the empire for three months, before Aurelian became emperor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VPUKcoins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57636776116604,"sku":"5183","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/0047\/1932\/files\/il_fullxfull.8659686938_r4uw.jpg?v=1791732497","url":"https:\/\/vpukcoins.com\/products\/aurelian-antoninianus-with-sol-reverse-64688","provider":"VPUKcoins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
