Does anyone think that spared from assasination, Emperor Aurelian would be viewed on the same level as say Diocletian as far as 'saving the empire'? I am not nescessarily asking the ramifications of his survival (though I think they are very interesting) because the topic was already brought up a couple months ago. I am just wondering, would Aurelian's survival put him in the pantheon of famous Roman Emperors?
The reason I ask, is due to the fact I have a hard time understanding why Aurelian is not well-known; that could just be my preception though. If you can help enlighten me on any point I brought up, I would appreciate it.
