Talk:Aurelian

message: Was it Aurelian who stood on an elevated platform, with his troops arrayed out on either side of him in order to impress the Goths? Where does this anecdote come from?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.36.36 (talk) 22:56, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aurelian shows his strength 

message: The aureus displayed on Aurelian article is actually issued by emperor Probus. Somebody should replace it with right one.
And delete my post.

replies: text: I fixed the image and put it back in the article. I must have accidentally uploaded it twice, once as Probus and once unknowingly as Aurelian. Sorry for the trouble!--Tataryn77 (talk) 21:24, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aureus is wrong 

message: It seems to me that the legacy section is partially based on speculation and assumption, specifically: "His death prevented a full restoration of political stability and a lasting dynasty that could end the cycle of assassination of Emperors and civil war that marked this period. Even so, he brought the Empire through a very critical period in its history and without Aurelian, it would never have survived the invasions and fragmentation of the decade in which he reigned." I'm by no means an expert in this time period or on Aurelian in general, so I don't feel comfortable making any edits, but I wanted to raise an issue I saw as an uninformed reader.

thread_title: Legacy?

message: The story of his death is mightily intresting, so I have searched the source in this article and didn't see it.
Can anyone please help?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In 2015, anon 24.135.252.44 updated the place of birth, relying on a reference identified only as "Milošević(2010:pp 106-7)". Perhaps that was related to shifting boundaries in the Balkans? Anyway, the only relevant text I can find is "Petar Milošević, Arheologija i istorija Sirmijuma, Novi Sad, 2001." as referenced in similar Wikipedia articles (online here). If anyone speaks Croatian, perhaps they can determine if this is indeed the right reference, and if it is reliable?
Second, it's not clear whether earlier authors intended Körner 2001 and Körner 2008 to be the same source. Maybe a comparison would help elucidate.  are you still around to help? David Brooks (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

message: "The ancient sources are not agreed on his place of birth, although he was generally accepted as being a native of Illyricum." cf. "Like Aurelian she was from Dacia." … Did Dacia at one time include Illyricum, or are these separate places? Asking for a friend. Mannanan51 (talk) 22:36, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

message: One section has a title about defeating  the Iuthungi, but the word never occurs within the section itself -- or any-where else in the article except in the ToC.  who were the Iuthungi?  The answer is found at  Juthungi.  This should be incorporated into our article. Kdammers (talk) 07:27, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

message: Why exactly does the article need the section? The section doesn't mention anything about Aurelian, it only talks about events that happened before him.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewf9h-bg (talk • contribs) 15:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  On the section about the Roman Empire in the 270s 

message: I will soon add the claim that Aurelian was born Sirmium next to the claim he was born in Ripensis in the template, as several Wikis have Sirmium listed, while several others have Ripensis listed. In this situation it isn’t enough to simply add "probably" to the phrase. I will now change it to "Dacia, ripensis or Pannonia, Sirmium. The template needs to reflect what the uncertainty of it all, otherwise readers may be to quick to believe he was actually born in Ripensis. If anyone thinks that the other claim isn’t known enough, has been proven wrong, or has other counter arguments to this, then I am open to learn. Reman Empire (talk) 22:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Again I want to stress that Sirmium is the one claim which I chose to feature in the template alongside Ripensis is because many Wikis such as the French, the Spanish etc., include only Sirmium in their templates. Which also isn’t good because Ripensis certainly is an important claim as well. Reman Empire (talk) 22:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
