Restorer of the World: Life and Legacy of the Roman Emperor Aurelian, 270-275
RE-UPLOAD from /GetNuanced on YouTube - Reigning as Emperor of Rome during the climax of the Crisis of the Third Century, Aurelian (c. 270 - 275 AD) despite being of humble origins had risen through the military ranks of the Roman Army to become leader of the Orbis Romanus at a time when its continued existence as a unified, single political state was within question from its contemporary citizenry.
With the Germanic Migrations that would become one of the primary staples that characterized the history of the Late Roman Empire (until the very Fall of Rome in the West), said Germanic Tribes from across the Rhine River had gone from manageable nuisances that would periodically raid into the Imperium's frontiers, into fearsome and worthy adversaries which would become increasingly determined to make their way into the very heartlands of Rome and carve a place out within its borders for the various peoples of Germania to call their new homeland. Separatist tendencies that had been long brewing and no longer could be suppressed manifested themselves in the breakaway provinces of both the East and West attempting to severe ties with the Imperium Romanum in the form of the Palmyrene Empire and Gallic Empire, respectively.
Despite his untimely death, Aurelian's many achievements would outlive him and his legacy as being Restitutor Orbis (Latin for "Restorer of the World") would inspire the modern cities of Orleans in France and New Orleans in the State of Louisiana in America to be named in his honor. In five short years he did far more than many would and will do in decades.
