Now, by the time the Goths are beaten back by Gallienus and Claudius Gothicus, you're beginning to reap the benefits of that, and then the man who sees it through is Aurelian. Now, Aurelian only rules from 270 to 275, so it's not a hugely long reign. Aber trotzdem, in dieser Zeit hat Aurelian die Gothen gewonnen und beide Ausbrechergruppen zerstört.

Es hat geholfen, dass in beiden Fällen der ursprüngliche Founder von diesem Punkt aus ermordet wurde. Aber trotzdem hat Aurelian nach dem Ende seines Reiches fast das gesamte Empire zurückgezogen. at least on a map, to look as it had at the beginning. Only one territory is actually abandoned. It's the region of Dacia. So roughly speaking, modern Romania.

So Trajan's conquest, the gold mines and everything, quite a rich province. Exactly. So the very last province that the Romans took and the only one beyond the Rhine and Danube. And basically Aurelian clearly decided you couldn't hold it. Not with the Goths moving into that region. So Dacia is the only region lost.

And then Aurelian gets murdered after what looks on paper like such a successful reign. The Historia Augusta simply summed up Aurelian by saying he was, quote, necessary rather than good, end quote, which suggests he was efficient, effective, and as soon as he'd done the job, enough people wanted him dead that he gets killed.

With the result that you then now get another six emperors in the space of about five years, you get a massive new series of murders, Und dann endlich, die Rückkehr, die Gallienus und Aurelian begannen, wird geöffnet. because the last emperors of the true third century crisis are Carus and his children, Carinus and Numerium.

Now, according to our sources, Carus and at least one of his sons were struck by lightning. Oh, wow. That seems statistically unlikely, which suggests we may be dealing with a euphemism. And interestingly, the guy who was technically responsible for their safety endet als nächster König. Sein Name war Diakles. Er war ein balkanischer Pflanzer. Er ist durch die Räume gestorben.

Und er wird König Diakles, der einer der größten Könige der ganzen Geschichte des römischen Welt.

I mean, it's one of the great things about the Praetorian Guard, the old imperial guard. They are responsible for the protection of the emperor and are directly responsible for more imperial deaths than any other single factor.
