[edit] Dominus et deus

See for instance Section: 1.9. Coin of Aurelian with the title dominus et deus. Google gives more, like Aurelian was also sometimes officially called dominus et deus: the principate had definitely been succeeded by the dominate. Interestingly, there are more German language pages than in English. The entry about Diocletian saying that Diocletian claimed it first needs to be changed, too.

Fine with me. But I think you should explain in greater detail the meaning of this contribution. You just dropped this sentence out of nowhere, without an explanation of its meaning and importance.--Panairjdde 16:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was "generally known" - my mistake. It came as a big surprise to see the different coverage in German and English web pages.

As for the text, I am not yet certain how to fill it in. The single sentence I gave was a stub and should rather be expanded. -129.247.247.238 15:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

End of the "Crisis of third century". In this article it is said that Aurelian brought this period to an end, while in the article about Diocletian it is said he was the one who did it. Latre 20:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aurelian shows his strength

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)
