With a force that rivalled the Roman army, she would not accept annexation quietly. All the while The Emperors political rivals waited eagerly for the first sign of weakness... The explosive conclusion to the life of Emperor Aurelian ‘Restorer Of The World’. Join The Anthology on Instagram for extra content related to this episode!
