Aurelian

Lucius Domitius Aurelianus was born in Pannonia on September 9, 214 and died on September 275. Aurelian was on his way to campaign in Persia against the Sassanids when he was assassinated in Thrace. When he died, it is possible that his wife, Ulpia Severina, served as empress until Marcus Claudius Tacitus was installed.
