But in 273 AD, Aurelian first defeated the Palmyrene Empire in the East - and the following year the Gallic Empire in the west. He also defeated the Goths, the Allemanni, the Vandals, the Juthungi, the Sarmatians, and the Carpi.
His efforts were the culmination of a herculean effort begun by Claudius II Gothicus only a few years before, which constituted a recovery period following the total economic and military collapse during the first half of the 3rd Century.
This category covers coins from the reign of Claudius II Gothicus and until the Tetrarchy in 293 AD.
